She was a retired educator with the Aberdeen Elementary School District. During her marriage she and her husband traveled extensively. She always did the driving and never needed a map. They also enjoyed square dancing and camping. All her grandchildren loved spending time with her. Some remembered crafting with her while others recalled playing cards. She was very competitive and never helped you out, she was in for the win. She was the most gentle, calmest, sincere and loving person except when you interrupted her TV show Wheel of Fortune. Nothing upset her, her favorite saying was "it's all in God's hands". She loved tradition especially fixing sausage rolls at Christmas for everyone in the family. She remembered all her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren for their birthday and Christmas.
