I was in ms Klopfensein's 4th grade class in 1967. I adored her! She was always so kind and loving to all her students. We had a classroom hamster named, Overwelmed. She always incorporated art in many of our lessons. She was THE greatest!!

Millie was an exceptional lady I was blessed to have known through teaching with her at Maplewood School and attending Christian Business and Profession Women Dinner Meetings.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Mille was such a delight. She always had a smile. We will miss her. Sorry we cannot attend her funeral as we are in Oklahoma at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Dick and Marilyn Hursh
