  2. Our condolences to you and family. Aunt Ila was a wonderful person. My prayers for healing and hugs to you. 🙏❤️

  3. Sending prayers for comfort and peace for the family. Wish we lived closed so we could make the service. Hug, cry, laugh, share stories and remember with her faith in our loving savior, this is not the end, it’s a new beginning, and I’m sure she was met at the gate by a wonderful, loving and welcoming group of family and friends.❤ and prayers – Bob and Marie Shrum

  4. I am a member of the Marion Methodist church. I have attended a lot of Bible studies with her and Ray. She was diligent in selling Rada for many years at our bazaars and throughout the year.
    I visited her at Emery Place but when she left there, the church lost track of where she had gone.
    We extend our condolences to the family.
