Our sympathy to Bill Bateman on the passing of his mom. I have lovely memories of Mrs.Bateman going back to my earliest years in grade school.
The following was printed in the Suburban Life:
"Vera Marie Kjeldsen Bateman, born in Chicago, Illinois on March 20, 1914, passed away peacefully on August 15, 2012 in Naperville, IL. She was 98. A longtime Downers Grove resident, Vera moved to Downers Grove when she was 14 and lived there until she was 88. She was the widow of William Herring Bateman, a lifetime Downers Grove resident, who passed away in 1995. Vera graduated from Downers Grove High School in 1932 and from Norwegian American Hospital School of Nursing in 1936.
