It brings me joy to announce that the Lord has taken me to become one
of his angels in Heaven. The Happiness and Love I shared on Earth is
never ending in my soul, even as I sit with the Lord. My love was so
great for others, that it will continue to keep my loved ones full as
they live on.

I was born in Chicago where I was raised and then moved to Havasu in
1970 and had my own business, Havasu Insulation, until I retired.

In my life, I enjoyed being involved in many organizations such as the
Moose, the Catholic Daughters of The Americas, the Telephone Pioneers,
the Havasu Pioneers, the HRMC Auxiliary, and Our Lady of The Lake
Church. I’ve been told that my commitment to these groups was
beneficial to them, but I was just trying to give4 back to the
community that gave so much to me.

Now for all the ladies and gents of my “Three B’s” (Bingo, Bowling,
and Bunco) I will save a seat for you. YES, we have it all in Heaven!

My heart is heavy for those that I am leaving behind. My children,
Linda (Fred) Ladner, Diane (Jerry) Koller, Bonnie (Mike Lawler)
Bartolo, Timothy (Claudia) Ryan, Carol (Pat) Henry and Tom (Michelle)
Brettmann. My grandchildren, Mike (Colleen) Lewter, Melissa Meiner,
Julie (Mike) Carlson, Nathan and Nick Ryan, Eric Bartolo, Lauren (Ben)
Classen, and Shawn, Travis and Ryan Henry. My great grandchildren,
Jacob and Samantha Lewter, Adam and Dean Carlson, and June Classen.

I took the hands of these loved ones who accompanied me in my walk to
see the Lord: my son, John Ryan, my beloved husband, Al Farland, and
my parents, Walter and Frieda Schmitz.

Do not mourn for me for I lived a complete, amazingly fulfilled life
of love, exactly the way that I wanted. I am at peace and will see
all of you again!

A Mass is being held at Our Lady of The Lake Church on Friday,
December 13th at 1:00pm. Immediately following, a “Celebration of
Life” will be held in the Holy Family Parish Hall behind the church.

In lieu of flowers please make memorial donations in my name to
Hospice of Havasu because they took such amazing care of me in my
final days.

Services were entrusted to the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home.
