Our mom was a wonderful person.  She was a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, mother-in-law, sister and friend.  Mom and dad welcomed all family and friends into their home.  We all enjoyed the Saturday family gatherings, special occasions, and holidays, for a lifetime.  She had a great sense of humor.  Mom was so proud of her Norwegian family roots and the genealogy books written by her sister.  She loved her life in Florida, although it was brief.  Mom will be forever missed.

In keeping with Mom’s wishes, there will be no calling hours or funeral service.  Her burial will be held privately at Beaches Bridge Cemetery at the convenience of the family.  Arrangements are with Iseneker Funeral Home, Inc., Lowville.
