This photo album honors our Grandmother, Mary Hoppes, who passed away at 100 in December 2005. Born in Gap, France in 1905, she came to America in 1907. She met Charles Hoppes (my namesake) in the Montana oilfields and was married in 1925.

Let's raise a glass to our Grandmother Mary: a passionate, stubborn, loving, opinionated, caring, tough, God-fearing, Lawrence Welk-lovin' gal!
