Best of mothers and friends. Words cannot express what you meant or how dearly you are missed. Comfort is taken in knowing you are with the dear Lord.
I will hold close your love and goodness and cherish the memories always.
Funeral Services and Interment will be private and held at the convenience of the family.

Barb,
So sad to read about your mother’s passing. I’m one person who will always be able to form a clear image of Ona in my mind. I particularly remember the Boston trip (Larry Bird opener) and your McCaskey ceremony. I would invite you to call or visit me if you’re in need of some conversation. 
Thinking of you, 
Ken Saupp
