She was an active member of her community, serving the American Legion Auxillary, Hebron Presbyterian Church, and Woodmen of the World as President and Treasurer for many years. Always thinking of others, she spent much of her time taking care of friends and family.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude for the kindness that everyone has shown to her throughout her life and, most recently, during her illness. Those who have called, prayed, sent messages, brought food, sent flowers, and visited will always hold a special place in our hearts. It is with sincere gratitude that we thank you.
