YAKIMA - Jennie (McCormick) Flinders was born on a December's winter day in Yakima, WA. She returned to So. Dakota where her family were farmers, but with the drought of the 1930's, her family returned to Yakima where she grew up, attended the local high school, and worked for the phone company. As a young woman she met and married her husband who hailed from southern California. Sadly, within two years of starting her own family, and with two small children, she was struck down with polio. Returning to Yakima, she lived the next three years in a hospital. With the soul of a saint, and the courage God gave her, she resumed her life and fought every battle to make life as normal as possible, despite great physical handicap. She met the challenge of raising two children, and never let any obstacle, physical or mental, deter her course. Later in life she returned to school, obtained a degree in accounting, and worked for fifteen years at the FAA. She acquired one of the first "handicapped" vans, and with her motorized wheelchair, out into the world she would go. There was nothing that she couldn't do, for God had given her the inner strength of a hundred "able bodied" individuals. "Uncomplaining endurance" would be a great title for her life. Never a negative word to say about another, never a complaint about her physical condition, she was an inspiration to all she touched. Jennie is survived by her two children, Ellen and Bill, her companion John, four grandchildren, and her three younger siblings. God rest her soul, for now she is able to walk, run and dance again. Graveside services will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, August 22 at Calvary Cemetery. Those wishing to attend should meet at the cemetery. Arrangements are in the care of Keith & Keith Funeral Home. **Yakima Herald-Republic, Yakima, Washington - August 21, 2008
