She was delivered by her father in their home.
She was very involved in her children’s lives. Taking the boys back & forth to Caldwell so they could play baseball from the time they could swing a bat & all through high school. Many summer days spent cheering them on. And then with Christine & her music, which wasn’t quite as much fun as watching the boys play ball! Supported them in all they wanted to do.
Mother was known for her green thumb. She raised some beautiful roses, the most delicious red & black raspberries, which she then turned in to heavenly jams & jellies. She also kept an immaculate yard.
She loved her piano, & many forms of music filled her life! We spent many an evening sitting in the living room listening to her play & singing along, although I’m sure we weren’t quite in tune. She continued to play up until a few months before her death. She is playing for the angles now.
She was truly loved by us all and will be missed by many.
