Mom had two older brothers, Neil and Herman. Neil was her half brother.
Mom spent some time at the Chicago TB sanitarium when she was young.
She attended Bowen High School in Chicago. She also attended a beautician school and received her Beauty Culture Certificate on the 19th of March, 1938.
When I was very young, about three years old, Mom had a "beauty culture" business of her own. I remember that we lived in the rear of the building behind the shop. It was fun for me because I received so much attention from her customers.
Mom was a good cook. She was also a "healthy" cook. She didn't want us to have too much sugar so cans of pop were a "no-no".
She cooked a lot of meals in that tiny kitchen in Mount Greenwood.
She died March 6, 2005 at the age of 86. She is buried at Willow Springs Memorial Park, Willow Springs, IL.
