After raising 6 children, and pregnant with her 7th, she completed her teaching degree at Marquette. She then taught 3rd grade at Washington Irving School for 20 years. She loved spending summers at the family cabin up north, spending time in her yard, and creating beautiful stitchery as gifts for her family. Being with her family was what she enjoyed the most. Her final wish was for everyone to be happy.

The family wishes to thank her devoted caregivers for their loving care.
