My heartfelt sympathies to your family on the loss of your mom, grandma, etc.
I got to know your mom through her coming to the DOT parties where I was a secretary for the Ames resident maintenance engr, Don SCHUMANN.
MARIE was a judge once when selecting secretary of the year for our professional secretaries association. I interviewed with 5 to 6 other ladies.
I wasn’t chosen, but later when she saw me she said that I had the best answers given Verbally than the other ladies. She made my day.
May God comfort you all now and in the days, months, and years to come. Rest in peace MARIE. I enjoyed reading her obituary of her lively life with Don living ilife to its fullest and traveling all over the world.
Betty Gordon, Ames
