Besides her son, she leaves a brother, Claus Strosahl, Manning; a sister, Mrs. Emma Voigt, Wesselburen, Holstein, Germany; and seven grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, her daughter, her parents, eight brothers and sisters.

I'm occasionally adding the actual scanned image of the obituary I make using my VERY expensive - large commercial scanner, and/or also other articles about the deceased person that were published in the Manning Monitor.
I want to also comment about people who are taking my obituaries, pictures, and/or other articles about a person/family and posting them on other websites.
You do NOT have permission or the right to do this - you are stealing my historical work.
Buy your own scanning equipment, pay for memberships to other commercial websites, and spend decades working on your local history like I have - then you'll understand why I'm making these comments!
Thank you for your attention to this matter - Dave Kusel
