Mrs. Vance was born May 05, 1951, in Linz, Austria daughter of the late Edward Kirkland and Hermie Braun Kirkland. She was a homemaker; however, she did work outside of the home from time to time. Mrs. Vance worked in various positions in restaurants and in construction customer service, but the most rewarding job was being a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

We will remember her as a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister. She was generous, kind and lived a simple life. While she was sometimes opinionated, we knew she loved us all the same. She will be greatly missed; but she will always live on in our hearts and memories.
