a loving and full-time wife, mother and homemaker. Romayne and Chester were blessed with 61 wonderful years together, and 3 adored children, before he was sadly called home ahead of her on September 30, 2005. In her free time, Romayne enjoyed the many friendships she developed within her membership in the Eastern Star, with her classmates from the Class of '42, and also with all of her fellows residents at ManorCare. She also enjoyed hiking and biking on Heritage Trail with Chester, but what truly brought Romayne joy was the precious time she was able to spend with her children and grandchildren. We are definitely beginning 2018 with broken hearts, but we accept that Romayne's 93 year journey has been completed now and we are forever grateful that she is, once again, reunited with her loving husband, Chester, and her parents. We love you, we will miss you, and we are thankful for the time the Lord was kind enough to share you with us Romayne. May God continue to bless you until we meet again. Those left to cherish Romayne's memory includeher children,
David (Sue) Schmitt, Dubuque, IA,
