She had a deep connection our Lord and Savior, and a deep love for her family. She is blessed to be with God forever in Eternal Life! She inherited strong will with a vibrant spirit that led her through many chapters in her full life from a switchboard operator at Kodak to a bus driver brightening up the days of her students.
