MY aunt Ina Mae (Count Kiefer) died last night. I am sad about the loss of her personality and family memory. However she was in such pain and misery and although she could not speak she knew what was going on to the last.
Count never traveled very far from home. She did not seem to need anything beyond Northern Indiana or Southern Michigan. She valued and kept her early friendships. Baking was easy for her and she was very good in the kitchen. I never tasted custard pie that was any better- even my grandma Grace Anglin did not top her. After her husband died she spent alot more time with her sister Anna -then moved in with her to care for her through her illness. Anna was so lucky to have her there so she did not have to endure the nursing home. We will all miss her sharp opinions and sometimes salty observances.
