For the past several years she had been a practical nurse and had brought cheer and comfort to many homes in this community.
Besides the five children, she leaves eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild a month old. She had two grandsons serving their county, Chief Petty Officer Howard L. Bale, stationed at San Diego, California and Gordon L. Rediker in Burma, neither of whom was able to be present. Services were held from the Cameron chapel Tuesday, Rev. Louis Ellinger officiating.
