Jackie Roe of Cass City United Methodist Church officiating. Interment will be in Elkland Township Cemetery. Memorials may be made to the King’s Daughters Home in Midland.

Anderson said he thinks both Chef Bob Zehnder of the Tuscola Technology Center and Caro Community Schools food service director April Jaster will figure things out quickly and do a great job to carry on the tradition.
“I think that any time there’s change there’s a little bit of issue that goes with it, but I think they’re going to do fine,” Anderson said. “I know April up there (at the school), and there’s a lot going on there, because she has to feed those kids every day and then they have the pancake dinner coming in there. There’s a lot of issue there, but I think that the young people that are getting involved will step up because they don’t want to fail — they want to succeed — and I think you’ll see that they will pull it off and do fine and I think going forward they will do fine.”
