She had so many wonderful friends over the years including those in her High School “club” group, neighbors from Woodland and Crestwood Ave., the United Methodist Church in Wadsworth, and those at Liberty Residence and Altercare.

She was always deeply involved in the lives of her family, had a very friendly spirit and a tender, caring heart.
