She was a waitress at Pizza Hut for many years, a licensed EMT as well as a full-time beautician for many years. She also volunteered at Birthright of Logansport.
She loved to spend time with her family and enjoyed gospel music and attending church on-line. She played many instruments, including the harmonica, piano, organ, guitar, and accordion. She never took music lessons or formal training but could play everything by ear after hearing it once. She also was a songwriter. In her younger years, you could find her at the local Legion, Eagles, Moose or VFW with friends. She loved to listen to live music and dance all night long until closing time. She loved being in the sun and near the water. She enjoyed traveling and was very active until knee surgery 15 years ago left her unable to walk and confined to a motorized scooter. She made the best of it and enjoyed friends and family as much as she could.
The family would like to thank the Memorial Hospital ER and 2nd floor staff as well as Miller’s Merry Manor staff for their wonderful care.
