While being known as a devout Catholic and proud St. Croix Chippewa Indian to everyone she met, she will always be a beloved wife, momma, grandma, granana, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend to those who she shared her love with. She is preceded in death by her parents, her brothers: William, John, Fred, George, James, Charles, Robert; and her sisters: Baby Girl, Lillian, Mena, and Louise.

She will be remembered for being a funny, friendly, and, at times, feisty lady we were blessed to have in our lives. She worked at the K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base hospital and dining hall and would eventually retire from the Veterans Administration. She loved laughter, family, dancing, fishing, and crafts. She enjoyed nature and her numerous hours on Petit Jean Mtn., DeGray Lake, or simply watching the hummingbirds and song birds enjoy her flowerbeds at her home. We will miss her sense of humor, wit, and compassion.
