Teaching was not just her profession, but her life's passion, and she touched the lives of countless students with her warmth, patience, and dedication.
She was also a woman of great curiosity and adventure. At the age of 23, she traveled alone to Europe for three months, and throughout her life returned many times to explore its history and culture. In later years, she visited her sons often in California and eventually moved to San Diego, where she spent the last eight years of her life.
