Her favorite past time was spent watching her children play sports and as time went on she spent many hours watching her grandchildren at sporting events and livestock shows. You could always look in the stands and see Earlene. She was always in her favorite spot and never missed an event. Earlene's second family in life was her Stockdale golf buddies, affectionately known as the "Patio Puppies". hey always seemed to have something for her decorate, cook or plan. Earlene cherished her dinner rituals. She would make her rounds with her buddies; Mexicali, Bill Lee's and Rusty Pizza. And her most favorite of all, Sunday night dinner's at Tiger's house. While we will miss her dearly, she has left us all with such wonderful memories. You can simply ask anyone about Earlene and they will tell you she was quick-witted, humorous, very artistic, and one heck of a Notre Dame Fan. The family would like to thank all of her friends for their support during this most difficult time. We would also like to extend a thank you to the ICU staff at Mercy Hospital and for the wonderful prayer quilt they gave to us.
