She would always have a meal ready and would put on a massive meal for us at special occasions. No one went home hungry! She was passionate about her yard, growing the most spectacular flowers. She loved her cats on the farm and when she moved to town, would adopt a stray cat or two. Singing was another passion, as she would play her records and wail out a tune. She was always singing. She also participated in a few of the plays that were held in Brockway. She was interested in her kids and grandkids activities. Attending talent shows, bump and run races, football, and basketball games. Her family will miss her dearly!

Billy, June, Sue, Larry, Jana, Angie, and families: I am so very sorry for the loss of wife, mom and grandma. I will truly miss her and our visits!! She would always say hi MEME!!!! whenever she saw me and would giggle. Great neighbor and friend. Spent many times playing with Larry and “Susie” while mom and her would work on her new house or while her and Billy and mom and dad would play cards. Got scolded for getting into her makeup kit with Sue!!! I know you will think of so many great memories with her to help ease the pain. She has a beautiful family and she has made you all who you are today!! God’s blessings as you grieve the loss of a remarkable woman. She has left her mark on this world for sure!! Hugs to your family; God’s peace surround you.
