∼Mother of 4, seamstress out local sewing factories in Waynesboro, Pa. Later went into Law enforcement with husband and they, the two of them, were the "Washington Township Police Department" that operated out of their home. They both worked in that capacity, then moved on to where she managed a game arcade and my dad worked under her. She was a strict mother but teaching us in the only way she knew how for she was a foster child when she was younger and was taken in by people who raised her but never adopted her. She was not happy as she felt she was taken in as hired help but never was treated with love nor ever shown love. It was so said as she had so much to give, but just did not know how to give or show love, but she was a wonderful mother. She and dad were terrific parents to us four children.
