We did water aerobics together one summer and had a lot of good times going together.
Greta and family were our “across the street neighbors” when they lived on Puddington Court in Westerville. Our families shared many happy times at the holidays and on special occasions when our children were younger. Greta was very helpful with neighborhood progressive dinners, back yard cookouts, and camping. She was also instrumental in getting our family involved at Church of the Messiah in Westerville. We had memorable times working together on THE FEASTE at Christmas and making angle decorations at Advent.
Before moving back to Michigan, she gave me many hand made angles for our family Christmas Tree. I treasure these angles and use them every year. I acknowledge them as the way she shared God’s Love with others and think of her as one of my life long friends.
Thank you Greta…and family.

I have many memories of Christmas parties with Greta, Paul, and Kevin. And what I will remember most about Greta is her laugh. She was a wonderful woman and will be missed.
What a treat it was to meet Greta and Paul through the WeMOG group. Many fun memories of biking, kayaking, and potluck dinners! Missing you, Greta……………

"Oh Paul." Just two words but so many memories of Greta...and Paul. Whenever we think of Greta we remember those words and smile. Two words that will be in our hearts always. Ruth and Glenn.
Dear Paul and Kevin,
Our prayers and thoughts will be with you as you remember your wife and mom. She was such an inspiration to so many people. I remember sitting next to her on a bus ride to Chicago for a riverboat cruise. We chatted about education and reading. I came to realize what a very brilliant and intelligent woman she was.
We had fun traveling to Europe on bike n barge trips. We shared so many paddles with the WeMOG group. I think we covered every lake and river in Lower Michigan.
Greta will be paddling in heaven and never running out of energy. She will be waiting for you Paul.
Greta will be missed by so many because she touched so many lives. ❤️
