Marne would tell all those grandchildren about the “Hard Times” she had experienced, but yet tell you, they were “Great Times”. Many school reports were written from those real life stories she had shared. Her mind and memory were incredibly clear until the end. She was crafted in many ways, with a love for quilts, sewing machines and clocks. She cooked the “Old fashion” way, her “chocolate gravy and biscuit” were quite famous. Her children and grandchildren were her life.
