May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Ione was such a great lady. She loved her Lord and was active in the Trinity Lutheran Church Women's group for many years. Always cheerful and with a kind word for everyone. She loved children and always made them feel special.

My sympathy to Randy, Rose and family in the loss a their loved one.
We all have many wonderful memories of Ione, she was a gracious lady who always had a a ready smile on her face. She touched many children's lives during her years as a Sunday School teacher, including my own family. They always loved Ione. For years she made placemats made from greeting cards for the elderly in nursing homes, worked tirelessly for years on many projects for her church. She loved and always spoke proudly of her family. It was indeed a pleasure to count her as a friend. I was fortunate to have known Ione for close to thirty plus years. Close friends and I celebrated many birthday's with her including her last birthday. She was an inspiration to many and God has received a true Saint.
