crocheted items. She will long be remembered for her cooking skills,
especially her doughnuts and tea biscuits. She had been a long time
member of the I.O.D.E., and an adherent of Main Street Baptist Church,
where she taught Sunday school. She enjoyed many summers at the family
cottage at Carter’s Point on the Saint John River.
