Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were her pride and joy. She was an active member of Bethany United Methodist Church in Portage where she sang in the choir, helped with Bible School, Youth Fellowship. She was one of the “gob ladies” of Bethany church who made thousands of gobs for each sale, and gave a hand with soup sales, bake sales, banquets and funeral dinners. She and her husband also enjoyed camping at Lake Raystown each summer where they would see their very special friend, Park Ranger Donald Donaldson each trip. Later in life when she was unable to drive, she attended church activities with her special friend Lillian Randall. Due to COVID 19 funeral service will be private. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to all the workers at Amber Hills who always showed our Mom such love and compassion. She loved all of you! Also a special thank you to AseraCare Hospice for all the loving support given to our Mom and our family.
