As their health deteriorated, Mom and Helen moved them to a skilled care facility where they shared a room for a while. Luther was so abusive toward Nora that they were eventually separated. This must have been around 1966 or so. They continued to live in the nursing home until their deaths in the 70’s.

At this point in my life I feel guilty for not visiting them more and certainly not getting their stories.

Mom or Helen visited them EVERY day in the nursing home. This kept the caregivers on their toes. What a love offering from their daughters!

Gramma died 6 November, 1977. I am pretty sure that the RA and complications lead to her death.
