August 2014

Just a quick note... I have only reposted August birthdays from last year - so if anything has changed in the past year, it will NOT be reflected in the current post.

I have received a LOT of new information this week and have not had time to get it all entered.

I will do my best to get the post updated either Sunday or Monday,

I'm looking forward to seeing all of you at the reunion on Sunday!

Keep in touch...

Rest In Peace – Gert [Fontish] Pendleton

I received notice this afternoon that Gert Pendleton passed away this afternoon.

Gert was born August 30^th, 1920 in La Crosse, WI to Clarence and Henrietta [Reichert] Fontish.

She married Arnie Pendleton (1) on January 10, 1942 in La Crosse, WI. Together they had 8 children: Donna (Robert) Kostecki; Bob (Phyllis) Pendleton; Richard (Janelle) Pendleton; Mary Ann (Daniel) Johnson; Jean (Peter) Smith; John (Beth) Pendleton; Patty (Patrick) McKenny; and Judy (Richard) Kehr.

She was the last living member of her generation in our family. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband in 2004, a granddaughter, Jana Lee Kosteki, in 1965. She is survived by her children, 18 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren.

I don’t have any details about the arrangements, but will post them when they become available.

She will be dearly missed.
