She was a member of Holy Rosary Catholic Church and its Altar Rosary Sodality, and American Legion Post #323 Auxiliary, all in St. Marys. Her favorite pastimes included embroidery and traveling to visit her children and grandchildren. A loving mother and a wonderful grandmother, she will be missed immensely by the members of her family.
