When she was young, she was an avid bowler and loved doing Word Search books. She enjoyed joining her friends for their breakfast club every week. She was very close to her sister, Josephine, and her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She shared all their holidays and special occasions.

She is survived by a sister and her husband, Josephine and Dean Prather of Sioux City; two brothers, Stanley Sponder and Leo Sponder and his wife, Helen, all of Sioux City; and many nieces and nephews.
