When she took up residence at Our House in Portage in 2017 she continued to be worried about the other residents and wanted to care for them.

She and Duane loved gardening, sports and especially traveling to England to visit their many friends.  Fannie was a fun loving women who always had a smile on her face. She was also devoted to her family.   She is survived by her three children, Linda (Darrell) Fehd, Lynette (Bob) Nehls and Kevin Allegar.
