Lawrence

50th Reunion
I was married to our classmate Larry Heeb for 35 years. Larry was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 28 and lived to be 56, passing on November 8, 1997. Half of his life was spent living with the disabilities and challenges of this disease and yet glorifying God every day of his life. We moved to our farm in 1993. I retired after teaching elementary children for 25 years.

I continue to manage the farm and breed, raise, train and show Arabian horses. We have three sons, Jay, Jon and Joe, and nine grandchildren who live in Lawrence, Phoenix, Ariz. and Corvallis, Or. Spending time with family either here or there is wonderful. I love my “flexible scheduling” which allows me to travel, volunteer, help with church activities, keep in touch with friends, etc.
