• Notes

  Donald VanHooser was called by Elmer Joe McDonald Thursday Morning 6 January 1994 telling him that Jean had passed away of a heart attack and was dead on arrival at the hospital. She had called a neighbor who as a nurse had recognized the problem and gave her(Jean) CPR until arrival of the para-medics. Joe had just been assisted by the Hospice Group at Wichita Falls by providing him a hospital bed for making it easier for taking care of him by Jean who was recovering from knee replacement and heart surgery. She was well into recovery having lost weight and was exercising as recommended and was planning on taking care of Elmer Joe who was terminally ill. Elmer Joe died 8 January 1944.
