She worked as a teacher, fulltime mom, then settled into a career as a realtor followed by full time grandmother and great grandmother.

She outlived her body but due to her tenacious spirit she hid her illness well. She never wanted anyone to know she was in pain or uncomfortable. We all would ask how is Mom? The answer was “Tough but wobbly”. She was determined to not die in a hospital and stayed in her own home way longer than any doctor thought possible. She accomplished her goal passing in her room surrounded by people who loved her and her dog Freddy.

She was a strong woman, fiercely loyal to her family, there for her friends, she will be missed and loved by all.

Love from all of us
