She is also survived by many nieces and nephews and cherished friends from their time in Maryland and Terra Ceia. Many happy memories were made during their trips with a travel group from Maryland, and she shall be especially missed by her very dear, life-long friend Mal (Don) Bates, with whom she and Paul also loved to travel. Her hobbies included volunteer work, reading, creating award-winning needlework, attending plays, symphony and opera, doing puzzles, playing card games and antiquing. She was a joy to all who knew her, with a smile that lit up a room, and she faced her diagnosis with dignity and grace.
