Woodlawn Funeral Home & Crematory issued the following announcement on Aug. 27.
"In her last days, my mother occasionally became confused, and to try to ground her we tried to ask her simple questions, like what’s your favorite color, what’s your favorite song. She couldn’t answer these. But when asked what her favorite prayer was, she immediately recited the Child’s Prayer, in German, which she used to say to my eldest brothers and sisters at bedtime when they were living in Munich in the late 1940s. Her favorite memory of prayer was a young mother tucking in her children.
We were the light of her life, and she let us know it ‘til the end. And that’s it. Thank you for listening."
