She lost her husband, Bob of 52 years seven months ago. She was employed by ITT in the 1960’s and was very proud of her job. She was the co-owner of the White Trolley in the 80’s.

She was strong, hard working and fearless, always putting others before herself. She only gave up trying to care for herself and her beloved dog “Baby Girl” days before she passed away.
