I would like to tell all of those who knew my Nana from the Army Reunions that she passed away in her sleep this morning at her home at the age of 86. She had fallen and broke her hip on her 86th birthday on Aug 9, 2008 and the recovery was too much for her. Please keep our family in your prayers. The obituary follows.
Thank you,
Granddaughter... Lisa Keller
