She was nominated for her 10+ years of calling Bingo and will receive an award for her service, posthumously, on June 21, 2011. Although she was a diabetic her love for Fannie Mae candies was her secret passion. Her children loved her stories of how she purchased Fannie Mae candy for "Visitors." We still can't figure out how she made all those candy purchases without anyone knowing. Service, 10 am, Monday, June 6, 2011 at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, IL. Location: 20953 W.
