She worked as a secretary for many years for McNeese/Burton Coliseum, Louisiana State Police, Moss Regional Hospital, and presently at Moss Memorial. The most important thing to her was spending each precious moment of her free time with her family and friends, but especially her granddaughter, Chloe. Chloe was the apple of her eye.

Those left to cherish her memory are daughter, Holly Fruge and husband, Chris of Iowa, LA. a granddaughter, Chloe Nicole Fruge of Iowa, LA; dear friend, Barbara Perry and many other friends.
