She worked many years in the bakery industry. She was a wonderful mother, Oma and great-grandmother. She took great joy in her children and grandchildren. She loved her annual trip with her sister to Hawaii, as well as many other destinations around the globe.

She embodied a prayer warrior' and her prayers will be missed. The family would like to thank the staff at Grace Hospital for their excellent care during this difficult time.
