I helped my husband farm and worked as a nurses-aid in Forest City Hospital. I loved meeting and working with people. I became a 4-H Leader and helped with lessons at church. A hobby I liked was doing crafts, painting bowling balls, growing and arranging flowers. We attended many family reunions, traveling distances to be there and enjoyed time with extended family.
1987-1996 we delivered Winnebago Motor Homes enjoying the travel throughout the U.S., including Alaska. Had the opportunity in taking and spending quality time with all our grandchildren on our various trips.
After moving into town in 1993 to Crystal Lake for 11 years, we moved to Kanawha in 2004. Looked forward to each day chatting with all my family and friends connected on the internet just to say: Good Morning. HAVE A GREAT DAY or Good Night HAVE A GOOD NIGHT!! Always know I Love You. I am at peace with my Lord.
