She began her nursing career in home care, and then joined the maternal/child ward at Elkhart General Hospital where she assisted new moms and babies.

She had passion for life. She enjoyed writing, dancing, singing, painting, being outdoors, and loved to spend time at Lake Michigan. Her children were her life, and her faith kept her going. She always had a kind word for everyone, friend or stranger. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. She is now with her Heavenly Father, where her smile will never dim.
