While in Ritzville, she lived at the Briggs Home before moving into the Life Care Center in Feb 1990, where she resided until her death.
Mrs Menkel was a 50-year Golden Sheaf member of the Neighborhood Grange at Mica, a 50-year member of The Three Link Rebekah Lodge at Reardan and was a holder of a Washington (100-year) Centurion Farm Certificate.
