Her favorite past times were reading classic novels (she read them all), road trips, seeing new places and being with family and friends. She was a devout Christian, and her family was her everything and her life’s work.

She spent many years going to college at UAA in Anchorage, working in the Mat Su School District, where she just adored working with the special needs children and various coworkers throughout the years.

She is survived by her 6 children and their spouses along with many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
