Grandma’s house was always the place to be to get the best goodies. Our mother loved to cook and bake, most of the time giving away what she made to others. This was her way of bringing some joy to their lives. She also spent many hours tending to her beautiful flower gardens and plants. She liked to listen to her favorite song, “How Great Thou Art” and truly believed the meaning of it. The family wishes to thank St. John’s Lutheran Church in Townsend for remembering our mother with cards sent to the Woodland Village Nursing Home where she spent the last several years. To respect her wishes, a private family service will be held with burial in the Lakewood Cemetery. Suminski Weber Hill Funeral Home, Wabeno is assisting the family.
