February 03, 1912 - April 11, 2008
She was the 5th child of 16 in her family, 4 boys and 12 girls. She remembered the end of the 1st World War, her father, brothers and neighbors parading in the streets and banging pots and pans because they were so happy the war was over, she also told of listening to the first Radio in Indiana. She had lots of stories to tell. She has 4 children, 9 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren, and 10 great great grandchildren. She never liked pets, but she loved horses and one little black dog named Suzie. She was a wonderful grandmother, she did tell us to go play in traffic a few times, but there wasn't much traffic out by the farm to play in. When I was young I remember feeding the horses, Billie (a pony), and chickens on the farm, and endlessly pulling weeds and picking strawberries from the garden. She loved her garden and she loved her flowers. Everywhere you turned there was a bed of flowers... lilies, roses, poppies, sunflowers, even spearmint and garlic sprung up everywhere. I have so many wonderful memories to cherish, and endlessly tell my grandchildren over and over again. I will miss her so much.
