There was a huge party in heaven on Wednesday, September 3rd when the last of the most fun, most caring generation was complete as “Granny” returned to the arms of all the angels in heaven that were waiting to celebrate. We’re pretty sure it started with a Euchre game (cheating involved) around a table of heavy smoke that included drinking a little beer, followed by a night of dancing to country music. Granny had her western wear and her cowboy boots on as she paraded around the dance floor to “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” and landed in Dad’s arms at the end of the night, dancing to “The Dance”, which was the last song they danced to together, 35 years ago. A celebration of life will be held on October 11 at the Woodman Community Hall from 3-9 p.m., with Mom’s nephew, Bobby Galer, entertaining us, as Mom would love. Please come as you are (or in western wear and boots) as we all need to be comfortable dancing in Mom’s memory. 

In lieu of flowers, the family would like to request memorials sent to any of the following of your choosing: Boscobel VFW or American Legion, Grant County Cancer Coalition, or Wisconsin River Trail Organization in Laura’s loving memory.
