Late Mayflower Community resident, Timer (Norman Van) McCombs, was recently remembered. Friend and service veteran, Steve Cranston, contacted Mayflower on behalf of the Deep River (Iowa) American Legion Post #296. He explained their organization wanted to do something in the memory of their friend and longtime Mayflower resident. Their goal was to do something that the Health Center and Beebe Assisted Living residents would enjoy.
Timer, a retired farmer and rural mail carrier, was an Army veteran. He and his wife, Joan McCombs lived in the Deep River area. She died in 2011. Timer lived in the Mayflower Health Center from June 2013 until his death in April 2020.
The decision of the Post was to donate the following items, which Steve dropped off: 52 Word Search puzzles, five Sudoku books, four boxes of colored pencils, and seven boxes of Crayola markers and pens. Thank you, members of Post #296, for this donation on behalf of Timer as well as for your vital service to our country.
