Wilma Harlene (Pine) Rodman, age 79 of Wall Lake, Iowa,  passed away on Saturday, January 14, 2006, at Stewart Memorial Community Hospital in Lake City, Iowa.  Harlene was born on August 29, 1926, in Independence, Missouri to Harley and Grace (Sanders) Pine.  She lived in Blue Springs, Missouri and graduated from Blue Springs High School in 1944.  She worked as a Candy Striper during high school and at Folgers Coffee Company and the Blue Springs Movie Theater after graduation.

On February 20, 1945, Harlene was united in marriage to Darwyn H. Rodman at the home of Darwyn’s parents in Breda.  They lived in San Diego, California for one year and then moved to a farm west of Breda where they raised their sons, Mike and Dan, and farmed until retirement.  She worked as a bookkeeper for Breda Fertilizer and Reiter Feed in Wall Lake after her marriage.  She was busy helping Darwyn on the farm milking cows, raising chickens, gardening, sewing, baking and tending her prize Hybrid T Roses. She loved her Pekinese Dogs and raised and sold them.  Harlene was a loving and caring wife, mother and grandmother.  Her greatest joy was watching her family grow and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  She was a member of Wheatland Presbyterian Church in Breda.
