She lived in four different states in her lifetime; Missouri, Kansas, Montana and Florida, and held various jobs, including as a waitress at Rockbridge Rainbow Trout and Game Ranch, a phone operator for Bell Telephone, and a front desk clerk at Holiday Inn. She was always a very busy housewife and mother.
Her hobbies included quilting, sewing and crocheting; she was especially talented at making outfits and accessories for her four children. She loved gardening, berry picking and making tasty cobblers. She was a master at canning and preserving. Family favorites were her homemade applesauce and her delicious red plum jelly.

Her family and friends will dearly miss and fondly remember her fiery passion, her love of storytelling, her witty sayings and especially her laughter.
