attending any sporting events, musical events, plays, dance, etc. that her children and grandchildren were a part of. She was probably one of the loudest cheerleaders at the sporting events. 4-H was special to her family and those blue ribbons (or better) received for the gardening projects were due to her gardening skills. For many years she made a meal of fried chicken, potato salad, and apple pie for all of us to enjoy during the lunch break at the annual swine show at the Kossuth County Fair. That was a family tradition we will never forget. Family was everything to her and she cherished the time she spent with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. You were sure to hear a story about one of them whenever you talked to her.
