She cherished family gatherings for Holidays and sometimes just for fun. After her marriage, she operated her own beauty salon (Vanity Beauty Shop) for over 10 years. She then worked at Interlochen Center for the Arts until her retirement in 1990. For the next 13 years she and Bob worked together on their home and gardens in Interlochen. She loved her flowers and shade garden and feeding her wild birds, not so much the occasional bear. She also was an accomplished quilter and she gifted us with many beautiful quilts that will be cherished forever. Her Catholic faith and being with her family brought her much joy and peace each day. Her keen insights of life and her quick wit brought her family joy and laughter.
