Her greatest joy was time spent with family and friends, which were numerous. One of six siblings, she was part of a large and close knit family and was blessed with a large circle of friends. After relocating to Harrison, AR in 1976, she became active in several local clubs and organizations and was soon enjoying the companionship of many new friends, a few of which were thought of as 'second family', She loved to entertain and was a welcoming hostess. Upon her retirement to Arkansas, she pursued her passion for painting and became an accomplished artist. An avid reader, she was a generous supporter of the local library. She loved to travel and never turned down in opportunity to explore new horizons.
Her loving spirit and unfailing support had an impact on many lives and will be missed. But her legacy will live on in those whose lives she touched.
