They raised their children on the Southwest Side, then moved to Lake Macbride. They enjoyed “Lake Life” for 30+ years before returning to Cedar Rapids.

She was an active member of Trinity Methodist Church and a variety of social clubs; a longtime volunteer at the Solon Public Library and other charities; an Iowa Women’s Basketball season-ticket holder and baseball Booster. She loved books, sewing, embroidery, crafting, cooking, baking, cards, and sports. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family and often traveled to California.
