She loved her family and friends deeply and unconditionally. She always looked forward to spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. For 50 years she enjoyed summer camping trips with family and friends to Brevoort Lake Campground in the upper peninsula. In recent years she enjoyed spending the cold winter months in Florida with her son, daughter-in-law, and grand-dog, Sophie.
