Donna WILSON, wife of Larry, died March 14, 2019. Agnes said, "I miss her strong spirit and phone calls filled with laughter. Donna was a beautician, crocheted and a lover of people. She was often seen in the community with her beloved dog Puppette.

This year, Theresa BARNHART and husband John RADACHOWSKY came from Danbury, Connecticut. She is the daughter of Ralph BARNHART who is Agnes' youngest brother. They had been on a long trip to the west coast with many stops along the way to visit family, friends and to explore America with their dog Darla.

The potluck was varied considering the family had its own chef, Sherri HALL and all of her children who have great cooking skills, too. Evelyn JACKSON prepared chicken and noodles and there were many other tasty dishes. It was a fun filled day.

Fifty-two family members were in attendance.
