Early on she taught grade school, studied nursing, and later was a devoted caregiver to many. Her love for animals was abundant, rescuing several throughout her life. Her greatest joys included days in her yard gardening, playing the piano and cooking elaborate family meals. She also enjoyed spending time in Northern Michigan’s Leelanau Peninsula.
