Malinda was also president of the Resident Council at the nursing home for a number of years.
Malinda moved from the farm in Evergreen Twp. to the Frazee Assisted Living in 1994 and to the Frazee Care Center in 1999 where she remained until her passing. Above all, Malinda devoted her life to her husband, children, and grandchildren who she loved with all her heart.
