Just found out and am saddened by the news. My mom and May walked many miles on the sidewalks of Wyoming and enjoyed the great outdoors every morning for years. I was the lawn person for a while for the Shines as well as the Press carrier. Many good memories of her kindness and gentle spirit. Wishing the family comfort at this time since I know that spending time together as family is a hallmark for you! Rick Koetje

I am one of May's Curves friends. I have never met a person like her - always had a smile for everyone and so gracious. We will miss her. God bless all your family. And we know you will miss her. She spoke so highly of her family. Jeneane Goorhouse

I was saddened to hear of May’s passing. She was a great lady, and always very gracious and unassuming. Remembering how your dad always called her Flossie has always made me smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My boys always called her Aunt May, and going to visit her and her family, you knew, was going to be a one full day of fun and laughter. Jeff, Mike and I want you to know we share your sorrow, but feel very fortunate to have known one of the worlds greatest mothers and grandmothers on this earth. Love to all of you, George

Best known as MaMa May to all. She always came into the clubroom when I got there to open. A big hug and kiss telling me to have a great day. I would respond win big in bingo. Always at the gathering with her crew. You have gold tipped wings. Never will I forget you. MaMa May. RIP LOVE GAIL

Sending deepest sympathies and memories from the Allie Bassett Schramm side of the family- We all knew how much my Grandma loved and adored her little sister. And as I grew older I saw for myself what an incredible, lively, generous and lovely person she was! She touched so many of us and I will always hold a special place in my heart for her.
