She was proud to be the wife of an Air Force officer and she felt her greatest accomplishment was caring for and raising six wonderful children while stationed in many locations throughout the world. She was attentive, loving and willing to sacrifice for her children. Because of her influence and goodness, she made them who they are today. She enjoyed cooking and planning family parties. Shrimp salad and chocolate chip cookies were just a couple of her many famous recipes. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints where she served faithfully in many callings such as: Stake Relief Society President, member of the Young Women's Presidency, and Primary worker just to name a few. She also served others through many tireless hours as a hospital volunteer. In addition, she provided many years of care for her own parents as well as her husband's.
