She could do anything she set her mind to, and was never shy for learning something new. She was an excellent seamstress and quilter, and shared her many talents with her family and friends. There was never a better cook or baker, and she will be forever remembered for her famous apple dumplings.

She was a wonderful mother and grandmother, sister and friend. She will be dearly missed!
