So sorry for you but remember Jesus is the lucky one🙏❤🥲
A good well spent and lived life. A year older than I and besides once living in the same county in the Village of Jewett I was also drawn to this obituary by where Rita Botine was employed. Yavapai Regional Medical Center in Prescott is where my Mother Lanoe Norquest passed away in 1992, suffering a heart attack near the Fann Ranch on the Dewey Highway. Rita Botine probably handled the paperwork after Mom entered the E.R. A small world indeed.
RIP Rita Botine you probably left behind many who will surely miss you.
Another Obituary that has caught me by surprise, but it’s that way we all must go to meet our Maker. So sorry to see another classmate from the Hopedale class of 1961 has passed away. My condolences to that large family that was mentioned in the Obituary. Undoubtedly she’s going to be missed by so many!
