Mom was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church of Indio-LCMS and enjoyed serving the Lord through regular worship, bible study, volunteering and fellowship of others. She raised her five children by herself overcoming numerous obstacles in life. Mom enjoyed reading the bible and would do so each day. She loved animals, especially her cat Fluffer, dancing to her favorite music, and sharing her day with friends and family. Mom had a wonderful sense of humor with a smile and laugh that was contagious. Her generosity of kindness to others was enormous. She was a woman of principle, governed always by her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Mom was a true Christian woman, loved and highly respected by all who knew her. She leaves to mourn her loss her five sons, Robert Paul and Marie, Stephen David, Peter Martin and wife Rosa, Mark Immanuel, James Leo, and her four grandchildren, Kelsey Lois, Jessica Kayla, Clayton Henry, and Robert James (RJ). A memorial service will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church of Indio-LCMS on January 15, 2011 at 11:00 AM, followed by a Celebration of Mom's Life.

Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hence-forth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
