and with the RSVP program. Lonnee's greatest joys were her family, sports, music, animals, reading and crossword puzzles. She sang to her grand/great-grandchildren and loved attending the kids' sports and school activities. She was not shy about letting the referees or umpires know when she disagreed with a call! Family gatherings were always fun when Lonnee was around, as she was always entertaining (intentionally or otherwise). She is survived by and will be greatly missed by her daughter, Shari Woods of Des Moines; her son, Ron Long of Milwaukee, WI; her stepmother and friend of 69 years, Martha Milnes of Chariton; four grandsons, Kyle Woods (Mandy) of West Des Moines, Heath Woods (Lindsay) of Urbandale, Chad Long and Nolan Long of Milwaukee; one granddaughter, Alexandra Long of Milwaukee; great-grandchildren Brooklyn and Emersyn Woods of Urbandale and Owen Woods of West Des Moines; four sisters, Linda Swarthout of Oxnard, CA, Marti Kline (Shorty) of Mitchellville, Elizabeth Milnes (Micki Singer) of Alameda, CA, and Cris Stone (Don) of Aurora, IL; two brothers, Eldon Milnes of Long Beach, CA, and Jeff Milnes of Costa Mesa, CA; many nieces and nephews, aunts and cousins, and her beloved cat, Max. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to your local Animal Rescue League or Hospice of Central Iowa (HCI).
