Opal Irene Hoyne
July 28, 1924 - December 13, 2010

Opal Irene Hoyne, a daughter of George Edwin and Mabel Adella Madsen Williamson, was born on July 28, 1924, in Storm Lake, Iowa. She spent her childhood in the Greenville, Iowa, area where she received her education. After graduating from Greenville Consolidated School, she worked at Scott's Variety Store in Spencer.

Opal married Kenneth Hoyne on August 14, 1949, at Grace United Methodist Church in Spencer. Following their marriage, they lived in Spencer where she worked as an accountant for Pixler Electric for many years.

Opal enjoyed bowling. At one time rated the top female bowler in Spencer, she continued bowling throughout most of her life and maintained a 165 average until she was in her 70s. She also enjoyed golfing, dancing, and taking care of her family. Throughout her life, she, especially, enjoyed traveling to Leaf Lake, Minnesota. She made the trip sometimes three times a year for sixty years to share those experiences with her friends and family, stopping only in the last few years when her failing health kept her from going.

Opal passed away at the Baum-Harmon Hospital in Sutherland, Iowa, on Monday, December 13, 2010, at the age of 86. She was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Helen and Arlyne; and a brother, Lloyd.
