They shared 34 ½ happy years together until his death in 1995.

She was a member of First Presbyterian Church where she served as a choir mother & sang in the Chancel Choir for 20 years. She was a member of St. Cecilia Society and volunteered at the Sloan Museum Archives, Flint Institute of Music, and Flint Institute of Arts.

She put in a letter she wrote a few years ago – “I’ve had a great life! Thanks for making it so.”
