My husband’s wonderful grandmother, Ola Louise {Davidson} Weeks, passed away in Kansas yesterday. She was so loved and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.
We’ll be heading up for the funeral this weekend, so I might be a little scarce on here for the next few days.
Louise was the matriarch of her family at 96 years old and was immensely helpful when I started on my genealogical journey 12 years ago. She was full of so many wonderful family stories.
Andy’s Grandma Passed Away :(
The last time we saw her was this past May and I was lucky enough to have interviewed her about her amazing birth story, which I posted earlier this month. I will add it again here today for those of you who didn’t get a chance to watch it. It’s remarkable to think that she lived such a beautiful, long life after such a precarious beginning.
It’s hard to believe that she’s gone.
I am so sorry for your loss. And so glad you were able to know her and interview her and learn her wonderful stories. I’ve a story of twins that were kept in teacups on the wood stove. Crazy things they used to do!
Jenn, I’m so sorry. Please give Andy and big hug from us. Drive safely!
Sorry for your loss but glad you all had the chance to spend time with her this summer.
I am so sorry, Jenn. She was a treasure. Safe travels. Your family is in my prayers.
So sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. She sounds like such a wonderful woman – loved the glimmer in her eyes when she was talking about the milk that saved her life. I’m so glad you had the opportunity to spend time with her and capture her amazing spirit on film. My thoughts will be with you – travel safely!
Oh, no, I am so sorry to hear this. I loved the interview with her – truly a great lady.
I’m sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you.
Sorry for your families loss, but it sounds like she had a full life. While her death is a sad event, please remember to celebrate the good parts of her long life.
