LaNelle
loved her family more than anything. She
enjoyed being a member of many bridge
clubs and was an avid duplicate bridge
player. She attained Life Master status
with the American Contract Bridge
League. She will always be remembered
for being "Dressed to the Nines" and
never leaving her house without red
lipstick and heels. She was a wonderful
mother and grandmother and will be
missed greatly. |

A LIFE
WELL LIVED
A life well lived is a precious gift,
of hope and strength and grace,
from someone who has made our world
a brighter, better place.
It's filled with moments,
sweet and sad with smiles and sometimes
tears,
with friendships formed and good times
shared,
and laughter through the years.
A life well lived is a legacy,
of joy and pride and pleasure,
a living, lasting memory
our grateful hearts will treasure.
