My grandmother, Wilburta June Love Linenbach, turns 90 years old today!! I visit her as often as I can, usually about once a week, and she is always so happy to see me. I don't know that she remembers who I am exactly, but she knows we belong together and that she loves me and I love her! Every once in a while she will mention my aunt, Lindi, or my dad, by name, but usually not. I am sad that she doesn't remember the full life that she lived!
In honor of her birthday, I want to share some photos of her life!
Wilburta June Love was born on 20 September 1922 in Glendale, California, the second daughter to Wilbur and Florence Faye Alkire Love.
