In her retirement, she became a certified master gardener and faithfully contributed her time at Harmosny Gardens. Also, during retirement, she learned to play the organ and enjoyed playing for the congregation at St. Mary’s of the Lake, Crooked Lake. She was a great friend to everyone with a welcoming hug and smile on her face. One of her favorite pastimes was taking walks in the north woods with her best friend and husband, Jim.
