She was an Auxiliary member of the Pleasant Hall Fire Company. For 25 years she enjoyed playing golf at the Letterkenny Ladies League on Monday nights and Thursday mornings. She loved driving the school bus for Bert's Transportation and was very proud of her time as a Red Cross Volunteer.
Her favorite verse was: When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little - but not too long
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that was once shared:
Miss me but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
and each must go alone.
It's all part of the Master Plan,
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart,
go to the friends we know,
and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me but let me go.

Services will take place at Arlington National Cemetery in late June, where she will join her loving husband Paul.
The family requests that any contributions be made in her memory to the Pleasant Hall Fire Company, P.O. Box 115, Pleasant Hall, PA, 17246.

She will be missed by all who knew her.
