She was an excellent seamstress and took great pleasure and pride in making quilts and beautifully stuffed bunnies dressed in antique lace for her grandchildren and friends.

All of her family would like to say a special “THANK YOU” to the wonderful folks who loved and cared for her during her stay at Willow Pond. She very much enjoyed the time she spent there and was very proud to call it home over the last years of her life.
