there a year later, July l9, l927.

Family was very important and God blessed them by celebrating 40th, 50th and 60th anniversaries with many of their children and grandchildren far and near attending.
The greatest joy of her life was watching her many (38) grandchildren grow up and enjoy Grandma's "skinny" pancakes for breakfast and crisp fried chicken at family dinners. Each of her children has received one of her "made with love" pieced quilts - often along with a rag rug. Each grandchild has one of Grandma's afghans, many in the color of their choice. In her spare time she has crocheted hundreds of padded clothes hangers to give as gifts.

At that time she was also a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Mom loved the time she spent at the Manor, being near Norene's family and Bernice and making many new friends there.
Her quick wit, flashing brown eyes and compassionate personality endeared her to residents and employees, both there and at Holy Rosary Extended Care where she has spent the past four and a half years.
