Grandma Goya, as we call her, was a heck of a character. Always ready for long trips to the mountains. Wearing stylish clothes was her thing, even at age 76. As a grandma and great-grandma, she always knitted blankets for everyone one of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She knitted for many years, till the end of her life. She always took people in. Helped care for and raise many of her children. Bossy in a way, but that's one of the best memories. Getting in trouble by grandma, giving her hugs! She leaves behind a huge family. With our hearts full of joyful memories!
