Lyola Audrey Grittner

Lyola was the oldest daughter of William and Beula Grittner, the fourth of 10 children. As the oldest daughter, she considered it her duty to keep the rest of us in line. Lyola started school in the one-room schoolhouse across the alfalfa field from our house; and graduated from Colville High School. After graduation she started nursing training at Deaconess School of Nursing. After receiving her nursing license, she moved to California. In the early 1960s, she moved back to the Colville/Chewelah area and worked in the medical field until her retirement. The family would like to express our deep gratitude to the staff of Buena Vista for their exceptional care of our sister for the past five years. Please join us on July 12, from 2-4 p.m. at the Addy Inn and share your stories and memories of a truly exceptional woman.
