Her favorite holiday was Christmas, which she always made the ultimate mystery game. Ah, the stories her children could tell! One of our favorites is that she would buy herself a gift, wrap it and put it in the back of the tree. After everything was opened, she'd spy that gift and wonder aloud who it was for and then make a big production that it was for her! She'd open it and scream that the gift was just what she wanted! Surprise!
She lived for her family - parents, husband, children, brothers, nieces and nephews. She was much loved by her brothers- and sisters-in-law. If she saw a child in need, she was there for them whenever she could. It may be something as simple as holding them in her lap, a hug, cookies, or simply a piece of fabric from her own stash for their 4-H project when she was a 4-H advisor.
She may not have been "famous", but she touched many people's lives throughout the community.
