A great friend and a wonderful mother. My husband Mel taught many of her children in high school. Very active in her church. She will be missed by many besides her family. Her family is in my prayers.

Our sincerest condolences to the family. She was such a nice, kind and patient person. Two of my children and I took piano lessons from her when she lived in Blythe California. Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time.
