She lived in Webster for over 30 years until recently being relocated to Lutheran Rehabilitation and Skilled Care Center in Worcester, MA. She was well cared for at the Christopher Heights Assisted Living Facility in Webster for nearly 5 years and the Lutheran Rehabilitation and Skilled Care Center in Worcester since the beginning of 2020. The Lutheran Rehab Center was a Godsend. The Alzheimer's care and support she received there was extraordinary.

She loved to have a good time and enjoyed spending time with her family and many friends. She enjoyed card playing, shopping (and returning) clothes, dancing (for a time, with the Sliver Dippers at the Webster Senior Center) and she loved Anne-Marie's homemade cookies.
