I love my Grandma Stoker. Collector of bells.

I was looking through some pictures and ran across a couple of my grandma.

My grandmother, Grace Thomas Stoker was born in 1922. She is currently living at a care center in Roy, Utah where she suffers from Alzheimer's. Here is a picture of us there. She plays Bingo every Friday afternoon. Our family volunteered at the center each week. I always helped my grandma with her bingo card. My son Joshua would push the prize cart around so the winners could choose a treat.

My grandma was a collector of bells. Little bells, big bells, crystal and brass; all souvenirs from her travels and past. She had a glass cabinet full of them that all of us grand kids would admire. We always wanted to ring them all. Some we could but some were too special to touch. She also had a collection of those Avon perfume/cologne bottles that were shaped like things. I mostly remember cars but I think there were things like cowboy boots, animals, and of course bells!

This is a poor quality photo of a photo that I recently found. Grace Thomas Stoker is second from left, with her siblings and parents. 

Here is a photo from 2007 with her children. L to R: front row: Karen, Grace, Marianne; back row: Darla, Jerry, David, John.
