She was a very gentle soul that easily made friends wherever she went. While she will be remembered by some for her revered culinary skills, keeper of an immaculate home, accomplished gardener of flowers and vegetables, seamstress, secretary, avid Husker fan, she will be remembered by most for her generosity, selflessness, thoughtfulness and warmth.
