                       Gertie and her family were from Nortonville, Kansas. She was a member of the Nortonville Christian Church. She was quite a large woman. She moved from Atchison to Kansas City, Kansas in 1959. She was always good to write letters and keep in touch with the family. Later in life, she had painful arthritis, but continued to help her daughters with their children. She lived in a seniors high rise and enjoyed the prayer meetings they had there. She quite often went with her children to visit other family members. After an operation, they found three tumors in her bowels. She died at the Bethany Medical Center of Cancer.
