She had a great love for red roses, traveling (visited every state), Camping, Tony Bennett, decorating beautiful wedding cakes, living in Camp Taylor.
She was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church her entire life. As a child, she attended school there and later worked as a librarian. She was active in the Alter Sodality, Social Club and volunteered in many other ways. My mother had the "greatest" love for our father. They never went anywhere without the other tagging along. He adored her just as much. They are back together now!
Her life was as beautiful as the red roses she loved so well and her memory will remain in the lives of everyone she knew and loved.
