Notes |
- Willadene (Greer) Short, 88, of Kirklin, IN, was called to her heavenly home, surrounded by her loving family on Friday July 16, 2021.
She was born on February 19, 1933 to the late Robert and Edna (Murray) Greer. Willadene worked for Briggs in Flora, IN for 28 years she retired in 1998; she handled all quality control for the company. She was a woman of faith and would share the word of God to everyone. Willadene was a member of the Hedrick Assembly of God in Hedrick, IN and later when she moved to Kirklin she began attending Kirklin Assembly of God. She looked forward to attending bible study and she would sometimes bring along new people.
Willadene would collect change and fill containers with change. When it was time to turn the change in, she would always try to guess how much she had collected. She liked working her puzzles and playing computer games, but she looked forward and enjoyed playing Nintendo games with her three youngest grandchildren. What they did not know she would warm up before they got there.
Willadene taught her family a lot of values that could be passed down through generations of her family, but the one value that was most important to her that she passed on to her family was her faith in Jesus Christ.
Willadene leaves behind six children; 21 grandchildren; 51 great-grandchildren; eight great-great-grandchildren; two sisters; and three brothers. She is preceded in death by her husband, Roger Allen Short, whom she married on August 5, 1949; grandson, John Wayne Rieken; two great-granddaughters, Gabrielle Short and Mallory Weaver; brother, Carl Greer; sister, Janie Wirth; daughter-in-law, Donna Short; and son-in-law, Harry Halsema.
