The four generations were a familiar sight, frequenting surrounding antique shops constantly. Her favorite hobbies included gardening, quilting and crocheting. Many elementary school teachers enjoyed receiving crocheted house shoes at Christmas time. Most all of her friends and family are proud to have at least one of her beautifully hand stitched quilts. Her love continues to shine through with these treasures.
