Mom was a devoted Catholic and sang in the choir at St. Thomas the Apostle church. Mom’s greatest past time was cooking and canning, sewing stylish clothes, dancing at the Legion and the Moose Lodge to her favorite song “You Can Leave Your Hat On”. Her favorite saying on every birthday was, “I am Sweet 16”. The neighborhood kids loved her homemade donuts and opened her home to those in need.
Special thanks to Dr. Loebach and the very loving staff at Riverside Place Nursing Home.
To honor our mom’s giving legacy, donations to Street Help would be appreciated by the family. Cremation has taken place.
