The St. Albert family was saddened to see the death of Ione Spitznagle.  Ione and Bill were St. Albert parents to a houseful of boys who graduated from St. Albert in the 1970's.  Ione was a devout Catholic and an active member over the years at St. Peter's Parish in Council Bluffs.  Please keep the entire Spitznagle family in your prayers and please pray for the repose of Ione's soul this Christmas season..

Eternal rest grant unto Ione O Lord: And let perpetual light shine upon her.

May Ione rest in peace. Amen

May Ione's soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed through the mercy of God our Father rest in peace. Amen
