My aunt, Doris Halliday Krentz, passed away early this morning at the Parkside Lutheran Home in Lisbon, North Dakota, on what would have been the 67th anniversary of her marriage to Melvin Herman Krentz.
The daughter of Elizabeth Hanna and Charles Halliday, Doris was born December 15, 1915 in Lisbon , North Dakota. She and Melvin were married in 1939 at home, the same Lisbon home in which Doris lived almost her entire life. They had five children (their firstborn son lived only two days). Melvin died in 2001.
