She enjoyed stained glass and painting, golf, she was an award-winning quilter, embroiderer and taking on stitching later in life. Any type of game, whether it be a word puzzle, scrabble, cards or many hours of backgammon she was always using her mind.

"His lord said unto him, well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." - Matthew 25:23

She loved her family to no end and was generous with her friendships. She will be missed by all who were fortunate to know her. The family is grateful for the many prayers, love and support offered during this difficult time.
