HARRIET L. REIMERS

Harriet Leona Reimers, the daughter of Fred and Eva (Van Oort) Wilts, was born December 19, 1919, on the family farm near George, Iowa. She received her education in a country school near George. On May 29, 1941, she was united in marriage to William Vernon Reimers in Neligh, Nebraska. After their marriage, the couple made their home on a farm near Boyden. Harriet was a devoted wife and mother, working side by side with Vern. They lived on the family farm until 1977 when they moved into Boyden. Harriet was a faithful member of the United Presbyterian Church in Boyden. She was an avid Cubs fan, enjoyed playing cards with friends, taking care of her flowers, morning coffee with the neighbors, family fishing outings, but most of all spending time with family. Vern preceded Harriet in death on October 19, 1999. In the last two years she enjoyed her home at Pleasant Acres taking an active part in many activities. She ended each day with the Lords Prayer, the 23rd Psalm and Verns favorite song for her, You are My Sunshine.
