Jean Rausch was surprised with a special presentation by her fellow Blue Ridge Grange members on June 24 at Lafayette Pointe in West Lafayette , where she resides .
Grange master Bill Somerville , Nancy Somerville , Janice Braniger , Sherry Cognion and Connie Patterson gathered together at the nursing and rehab center to present Rausch with a pin celebrating her 80 years of membership to the Blue Ridge Grange . They also brought with them special pillow cases made for her and her fellow Lafayette Pointe residents .
While Rausch ’ s 80-year pin was being given to her , Bill Somerville read a letter from Sue Roy , master / president of the Ohio State Grange .
The letter said , “ During 80 years you have demonstrated and promoted the grange way of life as instructed in the third degree : ‘ be faithful , be hopeful and be charitable .’ Today , on this very special occasion , we join the membership of Blue Ridge Grange # 1448 to thank you for your loyalty
