A local paper of Mom and 101st Birthday. Born 11/23/1921
Mom had 8 of us. Two died very early on, one died at two years old, another at birth. Mom cooked every meal and I used to love to watch her make rolls and that lemon meringue pie. She made sure we were up and dressed ready for school with a good breakfast before we left, we had to have something in our stomachs she said. Manners a must. She reads her Bible. I remember until her move to nursing home she said her bedtime prayers kneeling at her bed. She is still the checkers queen as she always wins. She loves to play scrabble too.
