So many fond memories of her. She graduated with my husband Bud & they were great friends. I always enjoyed time with her & her RN students being in our hospital. Also loved attending class reunions that she & Toots put together for the Clear Lake class of 1952. Lost contact with her after she moved away but often talked about her with my sweet sister in law Recca. They will be able to visit now. Sympathies to all her family & friends.
