Thank you for celebrating the life of Evelyn Mae (Lynn) Labenz with us today. She was born a twin to Arthur and Flora Love on May 3, 1930, on a rural farm outside Des Moines, Iowa. In the back of her address book, she listed “Mom” as her most cherished role; though, proud to be a wife, a registered nurse, volunteer in the community, and member of various groups over the years. She had strong faith in God, often saying Jesus was her right-hand-Man. She was always up for a party, and loved fun and laughter - including a good joke! She will be dearly missed by LaVern, her husband of almost 64 years, her “6 J’s,” 20 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren and countless other family and friend
Retired RN from Clarkson Hospital. Survived by husband LaVern; children Judi Thelander (Jeff), John (Deb), Joani Eledge, Joe, Jim (Michelle), Janet Menchaca; 20 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren and countless other family and friends.
