She will be lovingly remembered by her granddaughters Tara (Dave) Kerr, Tracy Woodward, Kimberly Woodward (Brent Weber), and Ashley Cornell. Adored by her great-grandchildren Katie (Mike), Emilie, Brayden, and Blake. Known for her loving spirit and sweet disposition, a true artist and expert seamstress.
