She passed away peacefully in Kerrville, Texas with her daughter, Elaine, son-in-law, Wilmer and Bounce, the family dog, at her side. \r\n \r\nBorn in Cleveland, Ohio on Nov. 3, 1916, she was the daughter of the late Helen and Stephen Kulka; loving wife of the late Joseph G.

The Family is especially thankful to have Terri Taylor and Peggy Pennell caring for her in her last months, along with Sid Peterson Hospice staff, Kristy Gilmer, Steve Doss, and aides.
