Her employment as a secretary for Sweet Adelines, Inc. encompassed more than 22 years before her retirement in 1990.
She enjoyed being with her family, reading, growing beautiful flowers, collecting Santas (over 300), pilgrims, crosses and decorating for all holidays, especially Christmas. She was a very kind, generous person with a merry heart -- always humming or singing at home. Most of all she unconditionally loved her family --was always there for us. She will be greatly missed as she was greatly loved by us all.
