She was very much in love and proud of her husband, Bernie and they shared their love, laughs and occasional hard times living together between parts of Arizona and California until death separated them. She was also proud of his family’s’ involvements in early Arizona Business developments beginning in 1912, such as Retail Jewelry, Amateur Sports and Greyhound Racing.
