Add Memories, Stories & Photos about Toni

Aunt
Toni was a 1st grade teacher for many years, first in Wyoming, then Rapid City. She married Sherman Wells. They had a son
Lyle, who caught polio in the great polio epidemic, was in an iron lung for a year, never really walked again, but was listed in
who's who in american colleges for his academic achievement. She and Sherman divorced, and she married Lloyd Olson after the war in 1945. They lived very happily for 38 years at which time she died of a stroke.

Her nephew, Ingman Westre, was born in 1919 to her older sister Inga, who died in childbirth. Toni was a great influence on Ingman's life, having him study piano, supervising his studies, and making sure he attended the University of S.D. in Vermillion where he majored in physics.

She showed the same interest and devotion to her niece, Gail Westre, who lived in St Louis, sending many lovely hand sewn dolls, quilts, and toys throughout her childhood.

She was a staunch Luthern, who attended church every sunday, and participated in that Norweigan dance group for many years. She and her husband Lloyd traveled to Norway through Chicago many times, and were able to visit her niece Gail before and after each trip. She was a wonderful aunt and we loved her, and still miss her very very much.
