Ada Flory married my great-grandpa, Emanuel Richard Lundquist in 1913 after my great-grandma Grace Honor Bushman Lundquist died at age 38, leaving seven young children motherless. She was a wonderful woman who cared for our family.
She died on this day in 1973.
Here is how I remember Aunt Ada, as I and my cousins admired one of her quilts. She was nearly blind, but she continued to make quilts for all of us. This was at a family reunion in the early 1970s not long before she died.
With her daughters, my great aunts–Edna Matson, Mary Roberts and Vicki Hiltner:
Aunt Edna sent this thank you card to my parents after the funeral:
Ann's Stories 
Hi Ann, I remember her as Aunt Ada. She made a quilt for Jill. What’s sad is no one told me she was my Step-Grandmother until after she died. I sure do wish I had known…

She was also always Aunt Ada to me. It wasn’t explained to me either. I wish I had known.
