Henrida had a great love of music and played the piano beautifully. She worked hard all her life. She was “the best” wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a graduate of St. Anthony Nursing School, and worked as a registered nurse. Her hobbies included music, sewing, gardening, working puzzles, cooking and her grandchildren. Considered by many to be an angel on earth she was a devout Christian, and a source of strength and wisdom to everyone. She spent years volunteering at church, playing piano for Cherub Choir, participating in bible studies and vacation bible school. She was also a volunteer for the Red Cross. Her faith carried her through many highs and lows in her life. Henrida and David loved traveling throughout the country with their many thoroughbreds, and spending time at their “Bit of Heaven” house in Destin FL.
