My mother's only sibling, her older sister Marian died yesterday afternoon. She had been in the hospital the last 2 weeks and stopped eating last Monday.
Even though my mother was 8 1/2 years younger, she had 3 children before my aunt married and had her only child, a boy. Below is my aunt and me and my oldest brother so this was before Sept. 1942 when my other brother was born.
My aunt always had all of the family picnics in her back yard. This was probably 1946-47. I am the little girl in the chair in front of the tables and my aunt is to the right of me, and then my grandma.
My aunt had a deep faith in God and I know He helped her through some trying years.
