In her spare time, she enjoyed gardening, cooking, knitting and camping. She enjoyed traveling with Dad and was proud that they had visited every one of the fifty states.
Mom was a kind and gentle person who loved spending time with family and friends. We have many fond memories of her and will miss her in our lives. The world was a better place with her in it.
While at the Sullivan County Home she enjoyed dancing and interacting with all the patients and staff. She really enjoyed her time at the Nursing Home.
