Hi SL93, review follows: article created 25 June and exceeds minimum length; article is well written (I made some minor changes, feel free to revert if you want); article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources for the content cited (I don't think the claims cited to the funeral home exceed that allowed by WP:ABOUTSELF); I didn't pick up anything too worrying on a check for close paraphrasing (NB: Earwig is thrown off by the long quote and proper names); hook is interesting enough for me, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; a QPQ has been done. I have one query regarding the hook "award-winning" is listed at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch, I wonder if "... that Iowa Social Worker of the Year" Catherine...) might be a good way to combine award-winning, location and occupation? Let me know - Dumelow (talk) 09:48, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dumelow I would be fine with just removing award-winning. While the award is significant, it's nowhere near as significant as an award with an article like the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame.
