Nita sent me the obituary, as I now live in Jupiter, Florida. Sally and I went to Junior High. We had been getting together with other friends for lunch upon my return for visits. What a great loss of such a happy person. Always a smile and cheerful attitude. Our family attended Union Park Methodist Church when living in Des Moines.
My deepest sympathy to her family. God Bless all. Evelyn
