She was a member of Fort Valley Homemakers and the American Legion. She was an avid bridge player, and loved family activities, entertaining friends, 4 wheeling, hiking with her dogs and X-country skiing in the forest. She travelled throughout the Continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii. She lived in Germany for three years, explored Europe and crossed the Atlantic by air and sea (on the SS America). Our mother was compassionate, loving, always extremely caring for family in times of need, and the catalyst for cohesion in our family. Throughout her life she was dedicated to caring for others and promoting causes to improve social justice and civility. We will remember her. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Compassus Hospice, in Flagstaff, which gave wonderful care and comfort to mother in her last years.
