She was a wonderful daughter, wife, mother, and sister.

She visited countries in Europe and South America, Canada and Mexico and cruised to many Islands. She visited all the states in the United States except for North and South Dakota.
"I have had a very happy, very full life. I've been gifted with a wonderful childhood, a loving husband and family and many, many loving, enduring, lifelong friends and a good life in the summers of New Hampshire. My last stop will be meeting our Good Lord and my family and friends upstairs. My prayers are with you always, until we meet at last."
