Born March 3, 1936 in Minot, ND, she lived in Jacksonville, FL for several years prior to moving to Ware County in 2018. She was a registered nurse, having worked in various locations throughout her career. She furthered her education and went into teaching where she had the honor of helping numerous students achieve their goal of becoming nurses. In her later years, she was a homemaker who enjoyed collecting teacups and beautiful Christmas Cards. She loved flowers and photographing them. She will be remembered as always being neat and tidy and very ladylike. She always made you feel so special by putting a lot of thought into the gifts/cards she would give you.
