RIP Aunt Wyona. You have a special place in our hearts and will be missed.
I remember eating orange sherbet for the first time at Aunt Wyona’s house when I was a kid. I couldn’t believe she was willing to share something so delicious. It seems that she’s always wanted to make sure others were well taken care of. I’ll always remember her kindness, her gentle spirit and her welcoming smile.

My dear sweet Aunt Wyona, I will miss seeing and talking to you at the family reunions and on the other occasions we have had. You always made me smile when I saw you because you always smiled when you saw me and greeted me. I am glad I got to see for one last time last month in Titusville. I will miss you. Rest in peace, my dear Aunt.
To my cousins, Darla and John along with their children and grandchildren; all of Laverne’s family including his wife Jean and all of their children and grandchildren; all of Dennis’ family including his wife Patrice and all of their children and grandchildren; and Kevin and Lisa, I express my deepest sympathies at the passing of your mom and grandma. You all have faced so much loss over the past year and a half. May God be with you and may you find comfort with family and friends.

Wyona spent her last few months with us. She was such an angel. She made you feel good just being in her presence. I will miss her dearly.
76 years Wyona was our sister. In 1963 – 1964, my senior year in school, Laverne and I did the milking while Rex attended Barber School. She made sure we always had something to eat before goingthe the barn. Other good meals too. I reminded her of she fixed and she didn’t remember. She always said had such good times. Thankful we got to talk on phone and share times together. Wish we could have been there but sure was thinking of her and all of you. I shared a lot about her to the hospital staff. Love ❤️ to you all. ❤️ uncle Richard Halsey
