Memorial Service For Irene Moulton

A wonderful memorial service was held this afternoon for Irene Moulton, the mother of Janice, Cheryl, Mary, and Rita. Each of the daughters told some delightful stories about their mother. Mrs. Moulton was a truly outstanding woman. She attended nursing school at the University of Minnesota. After the daughters were born, she put her career on hold so she could become a mother to her children. She then restarted her her nursing career at the Brookings Hospital, where she was widely respected. Her daughters stressed the imortance of courage, patience, and sacrifice in the live of their mother. Mrs. Moulton was a gifted seamstress, cook, and gardener. More importantly, though, was her love of God and her love of others. She was was very active in her church, and was always looking out for the neighbors and others in the many social groups to which she belonged. She had an impact on numerous people in the community. I can personally attest to this, as she assisted my own mother in the last years of her life. The memorial service was held today because it is the anniversary of her birth, May 22, 1917. Robyn (Connelly) Kortan was also in attendance from our class; we had a fun time reminiscing about our younger days.
