She developed life-long friendships with neighbors, sorority sisters, her church family and those who crossed her path along life’s way. She smiled easily, laughed heartily and was a loving mother and wife.

She served her Lord as a charter member of Calvary Presbyterian Church, Westlake Christian Church (Laurie MO) and as a member of Trinity Presbyterian Church.

She is survived by her husband Gale, a childhood neighbor, they were soon sweethearts who were married 63 years. A daughter Cathy/CJ (spouse Rachel). A son Russ (spouse Catherine).
