Her life was enriched not only by her family, but also by her many friends in Carlisle and in Florida, where Walter and she spent the last 27 winters. She and Walter loved to dance and were members of many local private clubs. She also loved reading, sewing, gardening, playing cards, camping and bringing laughter to others. Although she was mainly a home maker, she worked various jobs and also volunteered at a variety of charities.
Her smile and creative sense of humor will be greatly missed. She lived life to the fullest and was loved by all who knew her.
