She loved to take the boys on outings up Hobble Creek. She was at home in the outdoors whether golfing, camping with her friends from Brookside, with the family at Bear Lake or Fish Lake she was truly in her element. She taught her children to enjoy the beauties of nature, a crisp fall day, new fallen snow, the flowers of spring. She always had a smile to lift the spirits of those around her. She treated each day of life as a precious gift. She never let a sunset go unappreciated. She was creative, kind and generous with her time and talents. She took great pride in the many accomplishments of her 6 children, 27 grandchildren, 64 great grandchildren and 4 great-great grandchildren. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
