Mom and dad spent many falls deer hunting, they traveled in their various RV units and spent winters in Yuma, AZ after dad retired and before moving to Sun City, AZ in the mid 1990’s where mom golfed, did her ceramics, pine needle crafts, and various other crafts. She enjoyed a good game of cards or dominoes. She spent many hours in her rose gardens and flower beds. She loved to decorate for the holidays and you could tell which holiday it was just by walking into her house. Christmas time was her favorite holiday as there wasn’t a room in the house that didn’t have some kind of Christmas decoration. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
