She graduated in 1947 from St Joseph Commercial High School in Dayton. She retired from Dayton Public Schools in 1992 after 20 years of service as a school secretary. Her favorite holiday was Christmas when she enjoyed making Heath Bar candy to share with family and friends. She also remembered her friends and every family member with birthday and special occasion cards and gifts throughout the year. She provided compassion and care to many who visited over the years. She had a soft spot for the many wild creatures that visited her yard for their daily morning and nighttime meals. She loved playing cards and board games with her family. Survivors include children, Becky Pfeiffenberger (Barney), Beth Jimenez, Kathy Pennington, Mike (Brenda), Bill (Denise), grandchildren Laurie Paquette (Chris) and Kelly Quinn, Heather Hess, Ryan and Eric Pennington, Michael Arnold, Megan Hansen (Brian), and Greg Arnold (Veronica), special daughter Marsha Arnold, and several great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
