I just learned of her passing! I lived next door to her on Blaine Avenue from 1955 to 1987. I mowed her lawn from 1965 to 1970. She was my best client and a great lady! Prayers to the family and RIP. Mike Lundquist, Marion.

We were neighbors from 1954 to 1987 on Blaine Avenue in Marion. I was born in 1952, so I grew up knowing you and Elmer and just recently started thinking about the old days! REST IN PEACE DEAR!
