Surviving are her six children, Sally Reisch, Kay Habovsky and Jean (Vince) Connolly, all of Dubuque, Joan Beversdorf, Susan (Wally) Bonnet and David Glab, all of East Dubuque; 23 grandchildren; 52 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; a sister-in-law, Carol Klinkhammer, of Dubuque; and nieces and nephews.
She also was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Charles, Herbert and Donald Klinkhammer; and a sister, Mildred, in infancy.
The family would like to extend a special thank-you to Hospice of Dubuque, especially Karen and Traci, for the wonderful care given to our mother.
