She taught in Missoula, Hamilton and Plains Elementary. She enjoyed flower gardening, camping,cooking, and most of all the many pets that were a large part of her life. She had season tickets to Griz football games and was their biggest fan, driving from Plains to games for many years. She tirelessly cared for my Dad until his passing July 2021. In retirement they traveled in their motor home to Arizona, Utah, Pacific Northwest and Canada. They were involved in Masonic/Eastern Star activities, Shrine parades where many lifelong friends were made during this time.
