Auntie worked in a supervisory position in the Health Care industry -but still was deeply devoted in the well being and care for her mother daily. They enjoyed shopping, going to the movies and out to dinner a lot. Auntie and Ocie enjoyed their getaway home in Prescott Arizona, which they built together. She was used to being independent until heart issues developed in her early eighties, when she decided to give up driving. She didn’t like to sit idle and wanted to help and be on the go all of the time- until her body just got tired January 31st and could not go anymore. She will be deeply missed, but now happy to be with the family that passed before her. At her request she asked not to have funeral services, but to be cremated instead.
