First to Palmer Luther Lancaster and then to Roger Schmidt Kilgus. As she married quite young the first thing she did after I was born was go back to high school and graduate. After her second husband died she decided to go to college. She moved to Bowling Green, KY, rented an apartment near the campus. Carol Leah, the youngest child moved with her. Her grades were all A's and she graduated with honors. Later she finished her Master's Degree at Western University. This made tradition as she graduated after I did from Western.
After teaching in Bowling Green she moved back to Louisville, KY. By this time all the children were married and I was the only child living in Louisville. She taught one year in Louisville before she had a heart attack and died the last week of school.
The last year she would come to my house on Tuesday afternoons for dinner. She loved to drink whiskey sours. She was not a drinker by nature, however she learned to love Tuesdays. Her favorite meal was rolled lamb.
We never understood her and she never understood us. Made for complicated relationships. She was not a prejudice person and passed on those ideas to us. Education was important to her. It wasn't if we would go to college but where. Western was my choice, Mazie chose Indiana University. Bing went to the pharmacy school in Louisville, When he graduated University of Kentucky was the school and we went to his graduation.
When she died in the hospital I was talking to her on the phone. The only comment she made was "I have to go now". Later when they found her she still had the phone in her hand. Her health was always an issue. We would tease her on all the pills she would take and her own way of doctoring herself. 60 was an early age to die.
