Louise Yeoman, of Harmony, and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was born on March 28, 1916, to Harry and Selma (Ellis) Workman in Harmony. She lived her childhood years there, and at an early age moved with her family to Williston, N.D., and eventually back to Harmony, where she graduated from high school. In 1939, Louise was united in marriage to Clinton O. Jones at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa.
One daughter was born to Louise and Clint, Ann Louise. Clinton was killed in a traffic accident on Nov. 22, 1966. In 1972, Louise married Ralph T. Yeoman. He died of cancer on June 5, 1991. After losing her first husband, Louise worked for HECO as a sewer. Previous to that, she was a telephone operator for the Harmony Telephone Co. She loved sewing, quilting, crocheting, playing cards, reading, traveling and spending the winters in Florida.
She was a lifelong member of the Greenfield Lutheran Church, where she taught Sunday school and Bible school, and was a member of the Dorcas Circle.
She is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Ann Mraz of Harmony; grandson, Brad (Ann) Thacher of Sterling Heights, Mich.; great-grandchildren, Sara Thacher, Barbara (Aaron) Nelson and Mary (Josh) Presson; along with a great-great-grandchild, Ellie Nelson. Other survivors are Wynn Thacher of Lakeville; her brother, Ross Workman of Glenview, Ill.; sisters, Doris Sampson and Betty Roa, both of Fremont, Calif.; plus other relatives and friends.
Louise was preceded in death by her parents; parents-in-law; husbands, Clinton and Ralph; son-in-law, Thomas B. Mraz; brother, Roger; and brothers-in-law, Albert and Kenneth T. Jones, Clarence Roa and Lawrence Sampson; and sisters-in-law, Genevive Jones and Helen Workman.
