She was a gifted gardener who could make any plant or flower grow. She enjoyed gathering with family to share the wonderful meals she so lovingly prepared. Animals always held a special place in her heart, especially her pet dogs. And we all learned quickly not block the television or speak over the announcers when her beloved Steelers were on.

The family is especially grateful to the dedicated caregivers at Senior Life for their many years of kindness, care, and support.
