She was a strong and independent person with a good sense of humor and an even better laugh.

The people she loved, she loved dearly. She was a loving wife, mother, grandma, great grandma, and great great grandma. She will be deeply missed by all.

No services are planned at this time, but in celebration of her life the family would suggest you cook up some hot dogs and get a bag of potato chips.
