She is survived by her three children, Heather (Eddie), Hayley, and Shawn (Sheena), her brother Richard Jennings, as well as her beloved grandchildren, great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews that she also cherished.
She was shaped by her deep faith in the Bible, love for people, especially children, and love of nature. She was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1974 and for the next 50 years enjoyed sharing her hope for the future with others. She is fondly remembered by all who knew her for her sense of humor and love of everyday adventures. She was self-sacrificing, creative and compassionate.
