Another Angel…
Alma Louise Washburn Keating (Grandma Gal) passed away in the early hours. She was Pat’s Mom and the sweetest mother-in-law ever. To think of her, everyone remembers first and foremost her smile and a very close second ‘the love for her family’.
There are many more things she was known for and just to name a few for giggles:
- Her laughing at a joke even when she did not really get it
- Her pies, all her pies and her cakes incredible
- Not to say the many the cards, if she ever met you once and had your address, you got a card every year for the next 20+ years
- Pictures, she took pictures of everyone, everything and made copies… many, many copies
- She was definitely the glue of the Washburn family staying in touch with each and everyone always
- One of the most selfless people I ever met, her needs were hardly known because her happiness relied on that of her love ones (including friends)
- And talking about friends, she had hundreds, you can imagine with her persistence on staying friends with the world via Birthday Cards
- Now, she was a major pack rat, I found a container full (FULL) of match boxes and each one was labeled with date, who she was with and in some cases what they ate
- She wrote in her diary every day. Yup, she documented everything and that is why I know what a Happy woman she was and what a Happy life she had
For those that knew her I am sure you can add many more anecdotes about her and all will be funny because that is who she was.
And although her health at 95 years old was failing in the past few weeks, she will be missed.
Love you Grandma Gal….
Love y’all,
ME
