Thank you to Sue Junghans, Benitta Hermann and Sonya Fearnow for being so much more than friends.  You are truly family and your faithfulness will be forever appreciated.

Thank you to Greenleaf Health Campus and the amazing staff that have cared so graciously for our precious mother/grandmother the last two years.  And to Heartland Hospice, you have been true angels here on earth.  Mom seemed to flourish under your watch.  We were given a summer of giggles and God’s special blessings as we shared her walk home with you.

Private family services have been entrusted to Hartzler-Gutermuth-Inman Funeral Home. 

In lieu of flowers the family requests that memorial donations be made to Heartland Hospice 826 W. Edison Road, Mishawaka, IN 46545.
