laid to rest
NETTIE GRUBER
Age 79, of Granada Hills, California, formerly of Akron, Ohio, died at home Tuesday, August 14, 2007. She is survived by her sisters, Pearl Kaplan and Dorothy Schankler (Sam); and brothers, Arthur Gruber (Katie) and Jacob Gruber; and sister-in-law, Alice Gruber. She was preceded in death by her sister, Edith Ryan; brother, Matthew Gruber; sister-in-law, Shirley Gruber; nephew, Robert Gruber; and her long-time friend, Patricia Martin. In addition she leaves 20 nieces and nephews and her beloved dog, Sammie. Funeral Services will take place 11:00 a.m., Friday, August 17, 2007, at Eden Memorial Park, Mission Hills, California.
The family requests that memorial contributions be made to a charity of your choice. Nettie graduated from Buchtel High School (Akron) and UCLA, after which she served in the U.S. Army as a Captain. She spent her professional life as a computer programmer, including time spent working in Saigon during the Vietnam War. She was a loyal friend who could always be counted on for help of any kind. She was devoted to her family and was esteemed and loved by her nieces and nephews.
Still hard to imagine that she's gone.
You're dear in my heart. Thank you for everything you've done for us. We will definitely see you up in heaven.

Lu,
I ran across your blog when I was doing a Goggle search for Nettie. She was a friend of my mother and they had lost touch years ago. I was hoping to put them back in contact and was truly saddened to learn of her passing. I wish I had searched one of the millions of times I had thought of her before.
Mother met Nettie in conjunction with their work back in the 60's. I remember spending a lot of time with Nettie and even as a teenger I always enjoyed our conversations. In fact, Nettie gave me my first car, her Chevy convertible, when she left for Vietnam. Even went to my one and only 60's Love In with one of her nephews. For the life of me I can't remember his name only that he was a working on his Master's degree at Temple University.
Although many months have passed, my mother and I wanted to send our condolences and to let you know Nettie had touched the hearts of two other people as well.
