She was strong minded in her beliefs with a desire to help others, she welcomed everyone into her home and no-one went away hungry! She was known for her famous homemade cookies-always sharing with others.

She loved Alaska and enjoyed camping with her family. Grandkids were always at the forefront of any activity.
