Her greatest happiness was being an extraordinary Grandma to her 8 grandkids and 6 great grandchildren.

​Mom’s favorite thing to do was bowling. She enjoyed every minute at the bowling alley and made lifetime friends there. She had a special place in her heart for the bowling ladies, many of whom she played bunco with. She loved her friends like sisters; thank you for giving her such wonderful memories!

​Mom, you had such a big impact on all of us and we will always cherish the times we had with you!
