She retired from Maida Development Company after 40 years of loyal service. With no help, she somehow managed to raise four hellyen children on her own and did a wonderful job.
She was an avid NASCAR fan with Petty and Earnhart her favorites. She loved the beach, sunning, fishing and spent her early years with her children at Reds Pier, basking in the sun. She loved her home in Tabb where she did all her yardwork because no one could do it like her and she was so proud of her lawn and flowers.
She loved to travel the U.S. and visit family and friends from the east coast to the west coast and anywhere between she would go. She had a beautiful smile and unforgettable laugh that so many spoke about along with her quick wit and knack for making up words that you should know. She would do anything for anyone and help out whenever she could. The later years of her life she dedicated to taking care of her brother in law and continued to reside in Halifax.
