Great-Grandma Ordner was an amazing person. Her sense of humor, all the things she had done, how she aged so gracefully, and her commitment to her whole family (even as it grew very large indeed), are great things. I wish we could be with you all to celebrate her life and grieve her passing today, but we are with you in spirit from New Jersey.

I met Evelyn through Mike and Sue Erickson. She touched me with her great vitality and love of life. I treasure a cross she crocheted--which has a permanent place under the glass that tops my desk.
Peace and joy to all her family.

You were an inspiration to many, Grandma, and especially to me.
Her old bones creaked
And her pace was slow,
But her smile was blindingly bright.
Her mind was sharp,
And her voice was kind,
Her manner a true delight.
The world had changed
In the winters she's known,
But she bore their weight with pride.
She shared her wisdom
And passed the goodness on,
Using her love of life as her guide.
She did not bow to time,
Using life as her stage,
She sought each morning's joy,
And she was NEVER defeated by age.
