Memory was a kind and very giving person. She was an avid reader and took great pleasure in spending time outdoors. Cats held a special place in Memory’s life. She traveled extensively during her earlier years and experienced old-world areas such as Jerusalem and Damascus. She loved to write home about her travels and experiences. Memory suffered from Huntington’s Disease, which eventually took her life.

Left to cherish her memory are her father, Glenn Reimers of Schaller; brother Steve and wife Joann Reimers of Schaller; niece Missy and husband Jim Kestel of Galva, Iowa; nephews Shane Reimers and Matt Reimers of Schaller; aunts Muriel Galles of Schaller and Norma Reimers of Marcus, Iowa; great-nieces, cousins and many friends.

Preceding Memory in death were her daughter, Chrystine Lowry; and her mother, Mary Carol Reimers.

Memorials in Memory’s honor will go to Hospice in Kansas, Infinia Care Center in Onaga, and to help find a cure for Huntington’s Disease.
