Mom was a wonderful, loving wife and mother who was very spiritual and kind. She and Dad brought us up in the Lutheran church. Both of her parents were of full-blooded Swedish heritage of which Mom was quite proud. While Dad worked hard at being a farmer and later a mechanic and factory worker, Mom took care of we 3 kids and our home. She was very creative in home decoration and was an excellent seamstress, crocheter and knitter. She baked homemade Swedish limpa rye bread, cakes, pies, etc. She and Larry loved antiques and music, especially classical. Mom played the piano and chord organ. She and Dad had 4 children: Virginia, Larry, Sheila and me, Linnea. Virginia died at age 2 of mosquito-borne encephalitis. Larry became Mom's favorite. We 3 kids were encouraged to attend college, which we all did. Our family was devastated when in her 50's she began showing signs of what would be determined to be early onset Alzheimer's disease, something that in the early 1970's we'd never heard of. She spent 1 year at home and 2 years in the nursing home prior to being released into Heaven where lives now, whole and healed. We miss her.
