She enjoyed her time at Sandy Pond camping with friends and family for many years. She enjoyed her senior center and all the friends she met there.

The family also would like to send special thanks to Bridgewater Rehab Staff for their caring, kindness, the genuine care and concern for our mom (and our family) during her stay, we can't thank you enough!
