Memories of Janelle
(From family and
friends) | |

I visited your web
site again and saw the lovely memorials. I don't have
anything formal to submit for Janelle. I can tell you
that Janelle and I were roommates when she died. It
would have been November 1966. She and I shared an
apartment in Mason City and we both worked at the Credit
Bureau of Mason City, Inc. She was engaged to be married
in December to Paul, his last name escapes me, but it might be
Haugen. She graduated from Waldorf College in Forest
City (I think that's the right college) and met Paul there;
his father was the director of the choir.
Her funeral was held at the Lutheran
church in Ventura. She's buried at the cemetery near the
church at the top of the hill overlooking the lake. I
eventually lost touch with her mother who moved (I think) to
AZ. Her mother now rests next to Janelle at the top of
the hill in the cemetery. She may still have family in
the area. When I'm home and put flowers on her grave, I
sometimes find flowers that others have put there, but have no
idea who the source of the flowers might be.
She was
such a wonderful seamstress and had made her wedding gown as
well as the dress I was to wear as her maid of honor. I
don't know what her mother did with her wedding dress, but the
dress she made for me ended up being worn by my own maid of
honor. Her death was so unexpected and left a huge hole in my
heart.
