She played the Cello in high school and loved music and dancing. Some of her favorite pastimes were traveling to Hawaii to visit her friends, going to yard sales, auctions and enjoying life on the farm with family, friends and most of all her grandchildren. She was a great host, incredible homemaker, expert seamstress and enjoyed lots of time in the garden with her roses and hummingbirds. Kathern and Herbert lived in Gamaliel since the 1980's, moving from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She was a devoted grandmother, beloved mother and sister and a dedicated wife. Her family will miss her huge heart, abundant kindness, uplifting spirit and her charming “Baker” personality.
