A warm spiritual woman who greeted everyone with kindness & that brilliant smile. Her artistic abilities live on as she has blessed each of our homes with her hand painted watercolors. She cherished her days as a member of the Catholic Women’s League for 45+ years. We are thankful for the generous years we were able to share. Mom will be forever missed, forever loved. We are eternally grateful to the PSW’s & Nursing staff of Vision Nursing Home, whose compassion, love, respect and care towards our mother was amazing and the same characteristics were extended to us while with Mom.
