    She was born August 7, 1924, to Edgar and Hilda (nee Iberg) Yann in Highland, IL.  On June 24, 1949, she married Junior Lang at the E & R Church, in Highland.

    Mabel is survived by her daughters, Jo Sundermeyer, Bridgeton, MO., and Jackie Full, Shiloh, IL.; grandchildren, Chad Sundermeyer, and Abbey Sundermeyer; great-grandchildren, Emma, Quin, Madi, & Lily Sundermeyer.

    Mabel and my mom were cousins. I always looked forward to visiting with her at Faith Counstryside when I was there visiting my parents. She would introduce me to her friends and loved showings me things in her apartment. Rest In Peace Mabel.

    Dear Jackie and Jo,

    My sincere condolences to both of you for your loss. She was the most incredible woman I have ever met. Growing up with you and your dad (even though he was a Cub fan!) were the most enjoyable memories of my childhood. Having you just live down the street from our home was such a blessing. The daily contact I had with you and your family was such a joy that I will never forget. Your parents were two of the most wonderful human beings that were put on this earth, and it was an honor to know them.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you,

    Steven Landert
