Not only raising a bunch of kids, they had a huge garden and canned for years. She was a wonderful cook. She had a beautiful rose garden.

Her family and her church were her life. She waitressed at the Coffee Cup Cafe on Main Street. She cleaned the church for years, and all the yard work, then did the cleaning of the church in Plains at the same time.

She sold Avon for years, then camped up Thompson River and family reunions in her spare time.

She helped raise a slew of kids not her own. Through the years she cooked hundreds of meals for the sick and families in need.

She's with dad now and her mom and dad, and all her brothers and sisters and family.
