Joe Felin sent the obituary for Ralph Johnston, widower of our cousin Nadine:
"Ralph Francis Johnston Services: Saturday, Dec. 17, 2011, in the Marshfield Cemetery under the direction of Fraker Funeral Home, Marshfield. Mr. Johnston, 85, Great Bend, Kan., died at 3 p.m. Monday, Nov. 29, in the St. Francis Hospital, Wichita, Kan. Ralph was preceded in death by his wife, Nadine. Survivors include many nephews and several other relatives and friends."
Ralph was devoted to Nadine who was eight months pregnant when she was killed in a car crash in the 60's. Ralph lived with and cared for Nadine parents (our dad's brother Edward and his wife Lois) until their deaths. He and Nadine's twin sister Pauline continued living together until Ralph's death late last month. Pauline, as you may have read here, is now in an extended care facility in Great Bend, KS.
[Note: I first posted this with Edward's wife as "Mary." Thanks, Joe, for pointing out that her name was Lois, always "Aunt Lois," to us.]
