| I remember she loved to crochet. One day she was going to show me how. She was right handed and I was left handed, so I sat on the floor in front of her and she tried, but I didn't figure out how to wind the crochet cotton around my fingers and do what she did. I never did learn to crochet. | I remember she loved to crochet. One day she was going to show me how.

| When the farm was sold in May of 1957, she moved to 177 Bailey Drive with my mother. It was there in July of 1962, that she stood up from her chair one day and fell down with a broken hip. We never knew if her hip broke when she stood up or if she fell and the hip broke in the fall. She was 85 and had never been in a hospital. After surgery, she was in a small nursing home, then later moved to Maple Lane Manor on Cadmus Road just before Sand Creek Highway. She was in a large room with several other ladies. She never was able to walk after that. There were 2 ladies across from her that were 102 and 103 that I used to visit with. They both were hard of hearing, so it made it more difficult to visit, but they were always glad to have the company. Grandma died April 1, 1963. | When the farm was sold in May of 1957, she moved to 177 Bailey Drive with my mother.

| | Grandma was a quiet, gentle, soft spoken, lovable and kind lady. I never heard her raise her voice in anger. She was part of my growing up years and I loved her. Rev. Cox said of her at her funeral that she was content and didn't complain. How true that was. I have thought about that often through the years. Somehow that trait didn't pass on down to this granddaughter. |
