Condolences
Long-time residents will be sad to learn that Edith Rafuse passed away May 19 at the age of 95.
Since they “retired” to Deka Lake in 1980, she and her husband, Max, were tremendous community supporters, such that the local access was known as the “Rafuse/Nordquist Access” until long after they moved “back to civilization” in 2004.
Services were held June 2.
Deepest condolences are extended to Max and their family.
Celebrations
Birthday bubbly goes to Becky Citra, Vera Rottluff and Olga Tomlinson.
Congratulations to Dolores and John Frame on their 62nd wedding anniversary, June 9.
