One with a strong work ethic, she, along with her husband, owned and operated their own turkey houses. She enjoyed raising a garden and canning her bounty.
She was a former member of the Monterey Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, Monterey United Methodist Church, and most recently, Hightown United Methodist Church.
She was known for her six fingers and toes! In her later years, she enjoyed her many trips with her special friend, Bud. Above all, she will be remembered as being kind-spirited and always willing to help others; she loved to visit and talk.
