Our loving mother and grandmother lived a full life of traveling the countryside and exploring abroad. Attending the theater and musicals with family, writing long letters to friends, and reading book after book to broaden her intellect, were just a few things she did to make her so special.

She was an awesome teacher, having received her B.A. & M.A. degrees at Ball State University where she was a member of Pi Beta Phi. She was a graduate of Royerton High School in Delaware County, and attended both St. Luke's Methodist Church and Second Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis.
