Feb 16, 1915 - April 13, 2010
This past weekend, I spent as much time as possible at the bedside of my Grandmother. At 95 years old, she has seen so many amazing things happen. Her life was full of excitement, adventure, and fun. She taught her family to seize opportunity by using a single phrase,
"Your IQ Demands It."
It has been such a blessing to learn from her and to be a witness to her amazing life.
Below are 3 beautiful pictures of her.
Her head shot. She was a big time local performer - singing and acting. Everyone who knew her, loved her!
On the beach in California having a blast as always
Her 80th birthday. I hope I can look that good when I'm 80!
For her 95th birthday in February, I compiled several stories and pictures of my Grandma that were sent to me by cousins, aunts, uncles, in-laws, and more. So many lives have been touched by her. It was my pleasure to create this memory book. I learned so much more about her beautiful life. I felt like I was finally viewing a season of her life that was always unknown to me. I am so grateful I had the blessing of getting to know her so much better before her last days.
As sad as I am to no longer have her in my life, I am excited for her. Her dearest Love, Samuel Richard Keddington, passed away nearly 40 years ago. It has been so long since they have been able to embrace. I can only imagine the beautiful reunion that took place when she finally left her mortal body behind. I never knew him, but I can tell from stories that he is much like my own father. With that knowledge, I know the reunion was sweet. Oh the joy!
There is no doubt I will miss her.
She is my inspiration.
