Mom was also loved by her numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Mom was a strong, creative woman who worked hard and spoke her mind. She graduated from Alta High School at the age of 54 She was proud of this accomplishment as well as her job in quality control at Becton Dickinson Medical. More than anything; mom loved her family. We will all miss being woken up on our birthdays with a phone call and a very enthusiastic Happy Birthday song of her own making.
We would like to extend special thanks for the excellent care provided by Community Nursing Services staff, especially mom’s nurse, Wendy and volunteer, Gail. Never forget what a difference you make in the world!
