She attended Milton Pope School and Seneca High School, and obtained a BS degree and RN certification from St Francis University. She was an amazingly kind and caring nurse, very much loved and admired by her co-workers.
She will be cremated and interned next to her brother, Bob Howe, at the Stavanger Lutheran Cemetery in Seneca, IL. A graveside service will be held May 11, 2024, at 11am with Pastor Phil of the Stavanger Lutheran Church giving prayers and blessings.
