Grandma Frances as we called her was the most regal, talented lady I ever knew. She was classy, but humble. She could make anything on a sewing machine including many dresses for me growing up. I can still remember getting them and wearing them alot. In fact, in many of my school pictures I am wearing them. She embroidered perfectly and crocheted edges on everything. Her beautiful hand work was displayed and judged at many a county fair. I was given many of her first place ribbons from the Santa Clara County Fair. She loved her family and could be found in the service of doing something special for them always. She came from a family of 9 children, 7 girls and 2 boys. Three of which were celebrated on the same day, March 7th (my grandmother, Uncle Eddie and Aunt Hope). Grandma married my Grandfather, Everett George Heinkel and they were so much in love. I have a picture of them right after marriage and they looked so happy. They had a son, Delbert Wilson Heinkel in 1927 and my mother, Beverley in 1928. Unfortunately my grandfather got sick with pneumonia and died in March of 1928, a month before my mother was born in April and then subsequently lost her baby son in December of the same year to pneumonia as well (He would have been 2 in Feb. 1929). That was an extremely hard time for her. Her and Mom went to live with Grandma's parents at this time. They were a midwestern family from Kansas and were hard working farmers. They all moved to California in 1945 when my mother was 14 and travelled by train. By this time Grandma had remarried the only Grandpa I ever knew and had 2 children with him. My Uncle Ben Jr. and Aunt Wilma. My grandparents were the "model" grandparents and the best any kid could ask for. They were always interested in whatever we did and we felt their love unconditionally. She was an avid depression glass collector and knew her "stuff". She passed that incurable gene down to me and taught me how to detect authentic depression glass. In fact she gave me a special set she collected for my 16th birthday. I still have it today and have added to it to complete a set of 4. Sadly, Grandma got Alzheimer disease in her later years and died from that.
