Clinton. Leonard passed away August 17, 2004. Marylorraine was a member of Prince

She also worked at Swifts, Nielsens, the Clinton Garment company, and as an LPN at both the old and the new Alverno. She retired in 1980. Marylorraine was a very productive and generous woman. An excellent example of her generosity is the time she spent making little teddy bears to be given to children admitted to the Emergency Room at Mercy Hospital. She especially enjoyed visiting with family and friends, a good game of cribbage, 500 or pinochle. She spent most of her retirement knitting and crocheting much of which was given as gifts.

Mussmann of Clinton; three daughters: Virginia “Ginny” (Ed) Wisor of Clinton, Sharon
