Armitage, Jeneda (Marriage - 2 June 1956) 
 

The Christie Methodist Church at Christie was the scene Saturday of the wedding of Miss Jeneda Armitage and Leroy Lavandowski.  The Rev. Ethel Nulton of Greenwood performed the double ring ceremony before an altar banked with large bouquets of lilacs.  The pews were marked with white paper bows. 
 

Parents of the young couple are Mr. and Mrs. Lisle Armitage of Neillsville, Rt. 4, and Mr. and Mrs. Helmuth Lavandowski of Greenwood. 
 

For her wedding the bride was given in marriage by her father, and chose a floor length white net over taffeta gown, with a tight fitting bodice that was fashioned with short sleeves. A front and back panel of lace highlighted the skirt.  She wore glovelets of matching material.  An orchid on an heirloom fan was her bouquet. 
 

Miss Barbara Miller was her maid of honor, and Miss Kay Crume was her bridesmaid.  Little Linda Mead attended the bride as flower girl.
