She has left us now to be with her husband Milo, daughter Christine, brothers Maynard (Bud) and Merrill Barsness and son-in-law William Rice.

She also has three generations of many grandchildren. The family wishes to extend its deepest gratitude to our cousin Almira Rogers who was with her during her final days.
