40th anniversary party in Lynn & Joe's backyard, July 1983

Arlie Agnes

Have you ever seen anyone this excited about a box fan?  Well, it was the middle of July, and they lived in an old house with no air conditioning; you'd be excited too!

Arlie passed away in June 1988, and Agnes in March 1999.  Grandma suffered a stroke in 1966, before doctors knew what they know now about strokes.  Like Sharon Stone now tells us on the commercials, "Time lost is brain lost."  Well unfortunately, Felch was a long way from any hospital, and during the time it took to get Grandma to Iron Mountain, the stroke had taken quite a hold.  She was lucky to survive.  She was transported to Green Bay, where she underwent brain surgery on July 5, 1966--her 23rd wedding anniversary.

After many months of recovery, Gram was paralyzed on the left side and prone to emotional outbursts, but she beat incredible odds and lived a full and happy life for another 33 years.  Arlie and Agnes both had a profound impact on all of our lives, even those who were just little children when they died.  Grandma lived long enough to meet their first great-grandchild, Brendan. 

With 12 of their 14 grandkids (Bean and Scottie weren't born yet)
