On February 3, 2024, Mama was met at heaven's gate by the love of her life, her husband Doug and her son, David. Also to greet her were her parents; her brother; and in-laws. What a reunion this was! She and Dad were together for 68 years.

Left behind until we meet again are her children, Terri, Steve (Julie), Connie (Jeff), and Matt; 9 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren; 1 great-great grandchild; and her very special sister-in-law, Delores.

Mom's purpose in life was to love and care for Dad and their 5 kids. She was so proud of all her and Dad accomplished from the age of 16. Mom believed and taught us kids that the circle would be unbroken one day, and that is her greatest legacy.
