Lanelle Krammer

LaNelle Duncan Krammer, age 76, of West, passed away early Thursday morning, December 20, 2007 at West Rest Haven. LaNelle did not wish to be remembered at a memorial service, but wanted her family and friends to think of her as she lived, full of fun and loving everyone around her.

She again lived in West from 1981 to the present, most recently a resident at West Rest Haven.
