She became engaged to her sweetheart Clifford Weeks just before he left to join the frey over in France in WWI, married the boy when he returned home injured some time later. "Granny" rescued me and numerous other youngsters for whom she always seemed to care from the depths of youthful foolishness and ignorance, set our feet upon the path of learning to love learning, making it fun, revealing the tricks to make it happen. She raised six children of her own and helped raise me, Marilyn (Cress) her 2nd daughter's oldest child. She nursed me back to health on numerous occasions. I owe her my life and whatever small accomplishments I achieved in teaching my own children as well as working as a teacher. She gave me hope and made me feel loved. I know she and Grandpa did this for other children as well. They lent that extra special intangible element that makes life rich, although they were always so busy giving they really never owned much besides their home and a car. No prince or princess felt more wealth of those things that truly matter than we children who got to stay overnight at their home.
