She was a lifetime homemaker, loving mother, and devoted wife who worked tirelessly alongside her husband and children on the family farm. She was always available to listen, nurture, love, encourage or console. Family and close friends could find her working in her rose garden, vegetable garden, or feeding and watering the birds that came to her many feeders. Watching the birds gave her special enjoyment as her health failed. She was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church and attended mass faithfully every Sunday until it became impossible for her to do so. She was an avid supporter of many school or community activities involving her children or grandchildren, even if that meant just being able to listen for their names on the radio.
