Her sharp wit and corny jokes. She had a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother saying the rosary daily. She donated her time to the Mission Commission at her church, Right to Life, and Meals on Wheels. She had a great love for the poor, donating regularly to causes to help foster justice for the poor. She followed politics with avid interest. She loved the outdoors, camping and hiking. She loved feeding and watching the birds. Many a grandchild was given stale bread and crackers to feed the birds or ducks. Many a grandchild took a quiet walk up the hill to see if the sheep were out on the farm. She loved to play cards, games and dominoes. She loved to sew. She loved music and dancing.She will be missed by all that knew her and loved her. We will be setting your "plate" at the dinner table mom (just like you did for dad when he traveled) in hopes that someday all of us will be together again at the table of the Lord.
