To our great sorrow, we acknowledge the passing of our sister and friend Catherine Ann Decker Holden. Born 11 July 1962, she died only 2 short months before her 45th birthday on 16 April 2007. Her untimely end was due to heart failure as a complication of juvenile diabetes. We will all miss her. She is survived by her parents, Chap and Carol Wrobel Decker, her brothers Bo and Chris Decker, her grandmother, Ruth Sonnenleiter Wrobel, assorted aunts and uncles, 2 daughters, 5 nephews and 1 niece.

Decker Family Reunion

Decker Family Reunion
Date: Saturday, 9 June 2007
Time: ALL DAY
Place: At the Big Pavillion in Constitution Park in Cumberland, Maryland.

It should be lots of fun. There is a water park on the premises that is inexpensive. It presently consists of about four generations of extended family and hoping to get bigger. All cousins, aunts and uncles are invited, but we are trying to get a head count. The reunion is set up as a buffet, so everyone is expected to bring a dish if at all possible.

A new reason for the reunion is to keep tabs on the family history. We are trying to compile a more complete and accurate genealogy for all of the related families. Everyone is asked to please bring any information that they can in relation to the families, including pictures, documents, trees or stories. There will be a few copies of the present compilation available with a few of the pictures collected. One copy is always set aside for edits so the next year's copy is more likely to be correct.

We are trying to contact the following families from the area: Decker, Cline, Root, Cross, Stallings, Nazelrod, and all other related families. The connectors for the past reunions are William Blair Decker and Esther Mae Root.
