While she always felt the pull of New England and its mountains and seashores, she made a wonderful life in Maryland. She was a bright light to the many friends she touched; warm, helpful, thoughtful, concerned about the comfort and wellbeing of others, always smiling and cheerful. She was also a great hostess who enjoyed throwing parties and being with family and friends. She and John were fortunate to spend many happy years together, enjoying each other as they spent time outdoors and traveling. She was a woman who lived her faith in a quiet fashion as was evidenced by the good acts done to and for others.
