She was so special and loved everyone. She liked waterskiing, snow skiing, camping, and bowling. She loved her sister and drinking wine when she could. And she loved her husband more than anything, they had been married for 64 years. He was the light of her life along with her children and grandchildren. She loved family and everyone getting together.

Our mom, Nana, and our dad's wife will be missed and never forgotten. We have all our memories and love that we will hold in our hearts till we meet again. We Love you.
