She attended St. John's Parochial School, Marshfield, and was a 1941 graduate of Marshfield High School. She married George M.

After George passed away she moved to Marshfield to be closer to her daughters. In her free time she enjoyed watching birds and other wildlife. While the family was growing up she would make special embroidered keepsakes for the children. She loved every minute she could spend with her grandchildren.

She is also survived by grandchildren, Shawn, Matt, and Haley Bohman and Dan and Nancy Salzwedel and great grandchildren, Bri and Kaeli Bohman.
