We have known Durinda for many years through the IL Dept. of Agriculture. Pam had the pleasure of having her office next to Durinda’s her last several years of working before her retirement. She was so proud of her nieces, nephews and their families – talked about all of you and loved to show off the pictures posted on Facebook!!
Durinda, you will be missed by your many family members and those many friends that you have.
Pam & Kent

I was so saddened to hear of Durinda’s passing. She was a wonderful person and a good friend and co-worker. She always had a smile and was a lot of fun to work with. She had a way of making everyone around her a better person. She will be missed by so many people.
