Born in Pennsylvania, she built a life grounded in love, devotion, and family. She married William, the love of her life, and together they shared more than 60 wonderful years of marriage. Their union was blessed with five children, who grew up surrounded by her warmth, strength, and unwavering support.
She had a lifelong passion for reading, finding comfort and inspiration in the written word. Her curiosity extended into genealogy, a hobby she cherished as she traced the stories and roots of her family’s past. Above all, nothing brought her more joy than the time she spent with her loved ones.
She passed away peacefully in Hemet, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and deep familial love. She is survived by her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will forever cherish her memory and the love she poured into their lives.
