  1. Bev Doty Krutz
    I remember working with your mother at the hospital in the dietary department. She was always cheerful and had a great sense of humor. I enjoyed her friendship. Whenever I came home to visit my family and our paths would cross, we would remember the memories we shared. Remember the memories. She was a wonderful person. My thoughts are with your family during this difficult time. Bev Doty Krutz Orchard, NE

    So sorry to hear about your Mom. Phyllis Peterson (Darlene Lorenzen's sister)

    As a Licensed Practical Nurse, I remember Corrine at Memorial Hospital of Dodge County Annex. I believe she was in the housekeeping department, and I always considered her to be part of the care for the residents. Remember a group of the staff putting on a Mock Wedding Shower for me (Linder-maiden name) which was very funny as they all dressed the part and brought canned goods without the labels. I have pictures of the event and recently looked at them when I was hunting up pictures for our son, Don's, wedding. Remember also Orpha Switzer playing a part. My sincerest sympathy to you all.
