Our mother Theda was a kind and humble Christian woman, mother of 3 children who dedicated all of her spare time to her church. She volunteered as full time choir director and part time organist for 25 years. She led musical pageants, summer Bible School and Easter programs for the children as well as Folk masses for the youth. Our mother also played the organ for countless weddings and funerals as a service to the Lord. One could always find her alone in the sanctuary playing the organ preparing for our upcoming event.
