She loved working at the Blue Rapids Medical Clinic for Dr. Lawless and with all her other wonderful coworkers. She belonged to the Crazy 8 Card Club, 20th Century Club and was a 4-H Cooking leader for a few years. LuEtta loved to cook and bake for family and friends. Many will remember her for her delicious cinnamon rolls, pies and her family favorite, fried chicken. She never wanted anyone to leave her table hungry; she loved seeing everyone full. Having all grandsons, she was elated to get two great granddaughters several years ago. LuEtta loved her flower gardens and her big garden she and Arlin raised each year. Nothing pleased her more than to share their bounty with family and neighbors. She also loved to quilt and made many for her family. She was always excited to watch Royals baseball, K-State (first) then KU basketball.
