She also leaves many nieces, nephews, and friends. All will dearly miss her.

She will be remembered as a much loved and loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. Favorite memories include her love of sweets (especially chocolate, cake, and ice cream) and peanut butter. She was a wonderful baker of chocolate cream, apple, and lemon meringue pies.
