    I worked with “Flossie” for many years at Clinton County Hospital. I was a young nurse then and she taught me so much. I have many happy memories of our times together. We used to have a good time at work, and she always had stories to make everyone laugh. I remember the days before the hospital was aired conditioned….I can still see Marge sitting at the desk charting with her feet in a pan of ice water!!! The stories she told of working in the Dr.`s offices were priceless! She was a wonderful lady!!

    Ed and Patty, so sorry to see this obituary. Marjorie was CC’s nurse when I started as an Aide at Forest. She worried about all the elementary’s old furnaces every winter; our’s ran 24 hours a day never shutting off when it was bitter cold…and we were all cold anyway. Ladies and girls could not wear slacks then…1967.
    Our condolences. Carol and Connie

    Tom and I are very sorry to learn of your loss. We both have fond memories of your mother and father. I admire people who were able to raise FOUR sons. (and still be sane) Your mother was a hard worker always taking care of others. Hopefully you guys will get together and share fond memories of your parents and growing up together in Clinton County.
    Fondly, Tom and Jane Sheets
