She will be remembered as the brightest light at any gathering, the ultimate hostess, the person everyone wanted to know. Her wit, humor, and ability to tell a tale entertained all who knew her. Her honesty, love, and generous hospitality were legendary; None were turned away, all were welcome and accepted, loved and fed. Her home and heart were open to all walks of life.
She adopted all strays as her own. She loved to dance. She loved to laugh.
She led a vibrant life.
A celebration of life will be held on a future date.
