Sad News…

March 6, 2009
Peoria, AZ

We received the news late last night that my (George) Mom passed away. While this wasn’t completely unexpected as her health had been failing for some time, it’s always difficult to come face-to-face with losing a loved one. She suffered from Alzheimer’s and had been in a nursing home where she could get the constant care and supervision she needed for some time.

She asked that her ashes be interred in the “Memorial Garden” at the church she attended while she lived in Florida, and we’ll arrange for that when the whole family can attend later in the year. Memorial donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org/donate) or a favorite charity.

This is the information that ran in the local paper where she lived in north central Alabama.

Alice Vary Cederholm
Alice Vary Cederholm, 82, of Albertville, died Thursday, March 5, 2009, at Golden Living Center.

A memorial service will take place at a later date in Port Charlotte, Fla., with Adams Funeral Home directing.

Survivors include her sons, Richard (Annette) Cederholm, of Albertville, and George (Geraldine) Cederholm, of Peoria, Ariz., and five grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, George Cederholm, and a son, David Cederholm.

The family suggests donations to the Alzheimer’s Association or to a favorite local charity.
