Visitors in the home of Myron and Maralynn (Finger) Rinker over the weekend of October 20-23, 2017 were their daughter and son-in-law, Marilee and Steve White and their 13 year old daughter, J. C. of Centennial, CO. The occasion was a belated birthday visit to celebrate Myron’s 80th birthday, which was October 6.
The time was spent visiting in the Rinker home, except for Sunday noon, when members from both Myron and Maralynn’s families and two friends of Marilee’s, gathered at the Machine Shed in West Des Moines. It was interesting that the age span attending was three years to 84 years. The get-together was planned by their children Marilee and Marke.
Those attending the occasion were Shirley (Finger) Dobbs of Grimes, William and Diane (Finger) Johnston of Bloomington, IL, sisters of Maralynn, Myron’s brother-in-law, Don Hagge, husband of the late Barb Rinker; their sons, Tim Hagge and his daughter Hannah, and Jeff and Bev Hagge and their son, Jessie and his three year old daughter, Cloe, all of the Des Moines area. Also enjoying the festivities were, Marke’s special friend, Jenny Voboril and Marilee’s good friends and classmates, Jenny (Blanshan) Wessling of Grand Junction and Jody (Scharingson) Hall of West Des Moines.
Monday afternoon the White family went to West Des Moines to spend the evening and night with Ryan and Jodi Hall and their daughters, Reagan and Peyton. They left Tuesday morning for home. It was a brief trip for the White family, but such a special time spent together.
