Her grandchildren gave her many hours of pleasure. She was especially proud of having obtained her high school diploma at the age of 63. She was able to remain in her home until she turned 81 due to the loving care provided by her son, Allan, who lived with her and provided for her every need. The family would like to thank Mercy Medical Center and the Dennis and Donna Oldorf Hospice House of Mercy for their loving care during the last week of her life.
