A great person and Job Service friend.. Always had a positive and cheerful attitude. She will be missed by many.
we have been close friends for many years. Will miss her!
My sister’s mother-in-law; Jan and David would travel to family events where we got to catch up and share special times.
Always reciprocating Christmas cards with kind notes and inquiries on how our family was doing. A sweet woman who leaves behind a beautiful family, glad we got to know her. Xoxo
