She enjoyed dancing with her husband, Nick, playing cards with her friends, spaghetti dinners at the Italian Center and spending time at county fairs where she touched the lives of many.

She had a fun and feisty personality with a heart of gold and would do anything to help her family and friends. She will be greatly missed.
The family would like to thank all the wonderful friends and family that helped care for her these last several years.
