Since Nola passed away at the height of the Covid pandemic, the family only had a private graveside service at that time.  The family would like to invite everyone to Nola’s memorial service at Sanders Priebe Funeral Care, 315 S Washington St, in Crawfordsville on Saturday, August 7, 2021 at 3:00pm, with a visitation an hour prior.  Share memories and condolences online at www.sandersfuneralcare.com
