Holy Cross Gives Thanks
The congregation of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in
Yoakum would like to thank everyone for making the
9th annual Lutherfest a tremendous success. The
generous donation of time, talent and treasure by
congregation members, family, friends and neighbors
made for a fun filled day for everyone. This major
fundraiser allows Holy Cross Lutheran Church to
serve not only members but also the greater
community. We could not have done it without
everyone’s generous donations and support.
Thank you and may God bless us all.

artist and winner of numer-
ous awards for her paintings
and much of her work was
purchased at art shows and
elsewhere. She was an active
member of the Yoakum Gar-
den Gate Club and enjoyed
making dried and live flower
arrangements for which she
received many awards at gar-

years, she worked long hours

enjoyed playing board games
with her family during their

love of flowers and animals
which made her a passionate
supporter of environmental
programs and animal rights.
Throughout her life, she also
