In 1955 her first husband died and left her with two small boys to raise. Not an easy task in the 1950’s when most wives did not work outside the home. She married again. She and her husband Les were granted a son. In his 7th grade year he was tragically shot and killed. In 1994 her second husband died. Two years later her oldest son was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He died a few weeks after his daughter’s wedding. How would you have dealt with those tragic events? She never blamed God. She never lost her faith.
