She was born Feb. 4, 1938, in Oil City, Pa. to the late Clarence and Kathryn Brosius Silves. She was a 1956 graduate of Keystone High School in Knox, Pa.

She spent half her time in Cleveland, where she enjoyed Sunday morning worships at Mountain Shadows Church, pot luck dinnners, riding around in the golf cart and just hanging out with friends. She was an avid reader and spent time communicating with family and friends on the internet.
She loved traveling with Melvin in their motor home to visit family members, and they always took their dog Brandy and cat Cathy along for the ride.
