 Lois Kristine Rasmussen Turner

Lois Kristine Rasmussen Turner

She was my grandmother and I have many found memeories of her. She taught us many things and one of the things she tried to teach all of her Grandchildren was her love for Family History work. I guess it rubbed off on some of us but not all. I remember her teaching me how to gather eggs from under a setty hen and in the fall dressing out chickens for the freezer. She loved all of us and loved having her family around. She also loved books and made sure we all receivied a book at Christmas time that she thought we would enjoy even if we had never told her we had an interest in that particular subject,. Being a good Grandson I always said, "Thank You" even if I had no idea why she gave me that book.
