~In Lieu of flowers the family suggests considering a memorial contribution directly to the ALS Clinic to support their clinical and research work. Check payable to the Pennsylvania State University ALS Clinic may be sent to:
Zachary Simmons, M.D.
Director, Penn State Hershey ALS Center
Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
Department of Neurology, EC 037

[If family is reading this, a memorial would have been added by someone on Findagrave as soon as her obituary was published and before the funeral. Everyone's name would be re-published here when they copied the obituary. I try to add memorials of my relatives first so that I am in control of what is placed here.]
