In her later years she discovered that she had MS a very debilitating disease. She was very strong willed and battled this to the end. It is hard to describe someone's life in such a short time but she lived a good full life and had many enjoyable years. The family would like to make a special thanks to mother's neighbor Sharon for being there when she needed her.

We are sure that she is in a better place now and God can watch over her.
