While young, her family moved to Lafayette, Ind., where she attended school, completing her eighth year. While a young woman, she worked at Purdue University in food service at one of the dormitories. Her family moved to Tulare, where her father did farm work in the area and her mother managed a cafe and hotel. She helped out in the cafe, which is where she met her husband.

Charles F. Ames at Tulare. They farmed in that area, and moved to Montana for a short time before returning to the Tulare, Miller and Orient areas. In 1944, they moved to a farm northwest of Miller, where they lived for many years.
While living on the farm she raised many chickens and gardens, and delighted in keeping her supply of canned foods ready for meals for her big family. She always planted flowers, and is remembered for her bachelor button flowers, and always “saved the seed” for another planting. She loved to read and enjoyed her books until her eyesight failed. She enjoyed sewing, and in addition to sewing clothes for her family, she made many quilts and pot holders. She completed her last quilt at age 99.
She was devoted to her family and made each one feel special. She was a friendly, loving person and became endeared not only to her family, but to her caregivers at the Prairie Good Samaritan Center, where she had lived for the past eight years. She always had a big smile and welcomed friends with a hug as she wheeled about in the nursing home wearing one of her aprons over her dress. She never adapted to wearing pant-suits, and refused to wear anything but her dress. She was a member of the United Methodist Women, and a lifetime member of the American Legion Post Auxil-iary at Longmont, Colo., where her son lives.
