On May 23, 1946, she was united in marriage to Robert (Bob) H Meyer at St. Stephens Catholic Church in Chester, Iowa. Ione was an active member of the church throughout her life.
Ione was a great cook. Her family will remember her wonderful swiss steak, potato salad, kolaches, homemade bread and pies. She always made sure no one walked away from the table hungry.
Ione was a great steward of the land. She enjoyed many years of farming together with Bob, tending to her many vegetable and flower gardens, watching the birds and admiring the beauty within the trees as the seasons changed.
Survivors include her three children; Diane (Bob) Bowen and their children Christine (David) Slump and children Kaitlyn and Nathaniel and Rob (Kim) Bowen and children Mikayla and Andrew. Her son, David Meyer and his two daughters; Jessica (Andy) Stinson and their children Grant, Elliott and Ross and Jenna (Ramond) Zubrod.
