She loved spending time with friends and family and was often ‘out with the girls’ before she became homebound. Once confined to home, she became an avid fan of GRIT television and the old westerns…so much so, that the GRIT logo is burned into her tv display!Professionally, she worked at a bank in her younger years then later, she had a daycare in her home. She later worked at The Pants Store and retired after many years.

She recently informed her daughter, “I’ve had a happy life.”
