Willa grew up and lived on the family farm, except for a few years when she worked in the city. In 1935 she and Emil were married and for many years she and Emil were active members of the Ashern congregation of Jehovahs Witnesses. She looked forward to the fulfilment of Gods purpose to make this earth a paradise. We anticipate seeing her in the resurrection (John 5:28, 29).
