She was the proudest for teaching kindergarten and first graders mostly. She said she felt like if she gave them a foundation and made school fun that they would grow to love school going forward. She retired at 65 but just couldn't quit completely, continuing to substitute teach until she was 76yrs old. She loved to sew and quilt and make Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls when she wasn't working.

She prayed continuously for everyone she knew and loved The Lord and his Word. There is a special place heaven for this woman. In lieu of flowers you could donate to a local school of your choice.
