She was raised by Her Mother Alma Lorraine Howes Kramer & Step Father Frederick Otto Kramer (we were raised as brother's & sister's, we were NOT half accoridng to Mom & Daddy & I thank them for that) in Redding. After Graduation, She wanted to see what it would be like in Illinois ( near ner biological father ) so she moved to Herrin Illinois. She went on to become a Registered Nurse. She married Fred Lynn Ervin, had a son Scott & daughter Lenore Rene'. She died on June 19,1969, of cancer Leaving Scott 18 months & Rene' 6 months old at the time. Her children have become WONDERFUL people with alot of their mother's manerisims & personality.( Her daughter even sits the same way that Marie did.) I was so lucky to have had her as a sister, & I thank GOD that I now still have her childern & grandchildren. There is so much of her in her family, So I guess I do still have Marie in my life. She will be sorley missed by our family until the day that we can join her with our parents in Heaven. Thank You GOD for putting her in my life, Thank You for MY WONDERFUL SISTER.
