Mom loved her family and most who knew her called her Mother. She loved darts and played with Eastern Division, she enjoyed knitting and made many a dish cloth and she was always up for a good game of cards. She settled many a discussion with her knowledge of past events and places “The walking encyclopedia” was only a phone call away. She will be dearly missed by family and friends.
