Away from her public life she was a loving wife, a role model to her children and a doting grandparent. The last time she traveled was to Nashville, Tenn., to celebrate the first birthday of her great-grandchild Henry, whose birthday is just a few days away from her own. She was a lifelong member of St. James Lutheran Church in Reynolds, taught Sunday School and was a 4-H leader. Family: She was our matriarch and our inspiration and she will live in our hearts forever.
