Along with her wry sense of humor she enjoyed numerous hobbies which involved playing her organ initially and in later years she took to the keyboard. Going camping and tending to the Irises in her garden brought her pride and joy, as well as the projects involving her crafts, sewing, needlepoint, knitting, crocheting and coloring, all of which kept her loving hands nimble.

A calling hour will be held from 9:30 to 10:30 AM in the funeral home before the funeral mass.
