A fully devoted and very loving mother, she encouraged all that she met. Her sons-in-law, David Richardson and Brian Flowers, enjoyed her company and their talks with her. A loving daughter and sister, she, also, loved her time with her grandchildren. In 2008, Dennis and Shelly moved back to Fonda, Iowa. Everyone felt her warm love and will, always, remember her hugs.
