She provided endless care and encouragement to everyone, always putting others ahead of herself. She enjoyed going on fishing trips with her family, cruises and playing card games; Canasta in particular. Most of all she loved to laugh. Her family would like to thank the medical personnel and clergy in Cottonwood and University Banner Hospital who helped make her final days as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
