      She was proud to say, as an elementary teacher, she supported Tom as he finished his final year for an MBA at the University of Michigan.
      Their loving marriage of 62 years was the kind most people just dream of and it continues to inspire their 6 children and spouses and their 14 grandchildren.

      She had the ability to make even the simplest activities some of the greatest pleasures for her family such as singing around a campfire, enjoying a picnic at a park, or spending a day at the beach.
      Her faith in God and the future brought a sense of peace to others.
      Her love will continue to live on in those she leaves behind while they look forward to the day when they will be reunited.
