My grandma was an amazing person. I remember her bowling and swimming... My father in law told me the other day that he remembers her firm hand shake... I won't ever forget how much fun she had dancing at my wedding ...

God, thank you so much for giving me such a kind and sweet mother. She was always so full of life and taught me so many of life's lessons. She was a true mother in every sense of the word. I just found a quote on a calendar that fits you to a tee "A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take." Until we meet again I will hold you forever in my heart. I love you mom. Josie

Mom....I remember playing soft ball with you at Rockwell. You would get soooo mad at stuff. It was funny. When you were done being mad, you would start to laugh. :) I loved you very much. If you and I did not work together, I would not have met your son and married him. You were the best and you will be remembered by many. To all who read this, she is just asleep, waiting the return of Jesus Christ.

Mom.....I remember playing softball for Rockwell. You would get sooooo mad if you thought something didn't go right. You would hold up the games because you wanted it the right way. You were the best. Thanks for the many times we would talk. Thanks for coming together with me at Rockwell so I could marry your son Donald. You were a treasure. You will always be loved and remain in everyones memories. I know you will be just asleep until the return of Jesus Christ. I love you!!!

I feel truly blessed to have had such a wonderful grandmother in my life. So full of life she was such a joy to be with. The fondest memories were the holidays grandma sitting on Santas lap or the easter egg hunts in the huge backyard. She never passed up a moment to dance no matter what song was playing. She had such an angelic voice when she sang. Gone from our lives, but never our hearts. RIP Grandma

Grandma you were one of the most loving & caring persons know. Although I have many wonderful memories of you, I think my favorite is when you sang & danced with Santa at our annual Christmas Party. That was always a special time. Love & miss you!

Love, Liz

I'm truly saddened by this news. I did not get to see Great Aunt Ellen often throughout my life, but each time I did she was sweet, genuine and always made me, my mom and our family feel welcome and part of the Poulsen family. I don't believe there are words that can describe how profound this small gesture was for us......

My thoughts and prayers are with her immediate family as they mourn and celebrate the life of this truly special person.

Sister Shell was such a sweet woman, I am sorry to hear of her passing. She always had a smile and was so pleasant to visit with during church. I willpray for her family as they mourn her loss at this time.
