My mother, Marie Weston Humphrey, asked me to look for Rhea obiturary. They were cousins and were born the same year. I understand their husbands died within a few weeks of each other. Mom has very wonderful memories of her cousins and growing up in Laketown. My mom is doing very poorly, but would have like to attended the services. Please accept our families condolences.

When Rhea first started coming to visit Georgia - we fell in love with her. She was such a mother to everyone - always worrying about others rather than herself. I was so envious of her musical talent and truly enjoyed it when she would play the piano for us. Rhea will be missed by all who knew her.

Uncle Ron, Aunt Judy, and Daland,
I just wanted to tell you how much we loved your mother / grandmother; she was always such a delight to be around. I enjoyed visiting with her at the Wardell family dinners and I will always remember her for her smile and happy words, she was always sure to ask “how have you been” “what have you been doing” she had a genuine concern for everyone’s well being! She will be greatly missed by all who knew her, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Wayne, Jill, & Family

I am a local piano teacher here in the valley and have such fond memories of shopping at Mrs. Jensen's sheet music store when I was a young girl. What a blessing that store was to the city! Mrs. Jensen was a wonderful woman and her store and the music I purchased have had a lasting effect on my own life. My prayers and thoughts are with your family.
