Her compassion and care that she showed many families was very much appreciated until her retirement. Mom raised five children and cared for her grandchildren with much love and gentleness. Her laughter and kindness always showed what kind of devoted mother and grandmother she truly was. Mom loved bingo and bowling. Her love of embroidery and needlepoint work has left us all with some very beautiful keepsakes to cherish her memory forever.
