Irma Jean told me when I ask why she thought she was here on earth and she said "She was here to learn to be thankful and see God throughout her personal life journey. " We all agree she lived such a life. Irma was a wonderful, thankful, Christian women, always enjoying her family, friends and thankful for the little things, a hugger and always smiling. She had such a wonderful sense of joy and even with her constant battle with Alzheimers she never lost her natural thankful, joyful nature. She will be greatly missed. God blessed each of us for knowing and having the opportunity to be with her through her journey in life. She was a joy! As a family, we are very grateful to the staff at Victorian Estates in Yukon, The Lakes Nursing Home in OKC, and Hospices Nurse, Constance with Traditions Physician Choice and to Mitch and Kathy Hale for their love and care each gave to Irma Jean.
