Grandchildren Samantha (Nate) Pastorik of Tampa, FL; Jamie, Jancy, and Joe Lundberg of Batavia, IL. Sisters JoBeth (Eddie) Wisner of St. Petersburg, FL and Gail (Steve) Carter of Horseshoe Bay, TX.A private family service will be held at home on Saturday, November 16, which would have been her 82nd birthday.

Memorials in her name may be made to the First Baptist Church of Morris, IL.
