      Daughter of Joseph and Bella (Yordy) Schrock, was born near Shickley, Nebr., July 23, 1907; died at Mennonite Village, Albany, Oreg., June 28, 1986; aged 78 y. Surviving are 4 brothers (Dave, Melvin, Ray, and Leroy), and one sister (Ann Roth). She was preceded in death by one sister and 3 brothers. She was a charter member of Lebanon Mennonite church. Funeral services were in charge of Richard Headings and Robert Williams; interment in Fairview Mennonite Cemetery.

      When she was 2 years old, the family moved to Albany, Ore., where she received her elementary education. At age 22, she became dissatisfied with housework in California. Later she was asked to be Matron at Hesston College in Kansas. She combined this with a full load of study. Then a request came for her to train as an x-ray technician for the La Junta (Colo.) Hospital. After graduating from Goshen College in 1942, she went to La Junta and became the first registered x-ray technician in the Mennonite constituency. She worked 5 years at La Junta. Her life after that was filled with many things: Three years with MCC in the Philippines, 12 years as x-ray tech at the new Lebanon hospital, Greece to 'mother' the PAX men after WWII, 5 more years at Lebanon hospital, a world tour, revisit to Greece and the Philippines, to Zaire to help Dr. Zook there, serve as hostess at the Guest House in Washington DC, attend the Mennonite World Conference in France in 1984. She was active in the Wheels on Wheels program until her death. [2]
