Mrs. Fimpel was born Sept. 21, 1933, in

enjoyed reading, camping, bowling, visiting Hawaii, playing card games, sewing
and participating in her grandchildren's activities.
"Mom will be remembered for her generous heart
and love for her family and friends. She was a 'saucy' lady that was always up
for an adventure. She enjoyed everything Alaska had to offer. She never met a
stranger and would lend a helping hand to anyone in need," her family said.
Mrs. Fimpel was preceded in death by her
parents, Lucy and Edgar Heaton.
