Loving wife of Joe and mother of Angela, Michelle, Joseph and Melinda. Family believes she had Alzheimer’s since 2001. Diagnosed by Mayo Clinic Rochester in 2011. She spent close to four years in nursing homes. Less than one year in SD then three years in MD. Her family celebrated her 76th birthday the day before her passing. Our children and grandchildren had a wonderful time with her. She was so witty and full of love, but ready to go to our Lord. A couple weeks prior I asked her what she wanted to do that day. Her immediate reply “Die.” I just hugged her! She was ready!
