She was an avid world traveler. She was very active in the Swedish Women's Educational Association (SWEA) for many years and helped promote awareness of Swedish customs and traditions. She was loved by family and friends alike and will be remembered for her natural grace and joyful spirit.

Brit was a model of grace, charm, and style. She was so warmly accepting and friendly. I will always remember how she would share a loving toast from across a room, Swedish-style, with her brilliant smile and her gesture to her heart. A lovely lady.
