Her family was everything to her and our comfort lies in the fact she is with her heavenly family now. She retired from USA Seafood and Produce of Winchester. She took great delight in working with all of the employees there. After her family, her accomplishments were in many forms of crafts and she left behind many pictures she painted for those she loved to cherish.
