She was Lowell’s social secretary.  She was very caring and took care of anyone who would let her help.  She never knew a stranger.  She was the neighborhood welcome wagon.

She loved fishing, Sudoku puzzles, reading, garage sales, playing games, and travel.

She was very involved with family and loved and hosted many family gatherings.

She will be missed beyond words.
