In her younger years Mom was a seamstress starting her career during World War II helping sew items of clothing for our troops. She later worked at making high end clothing and bathing suits.
In her retirement years she spent most of her time with family. She loved poetry especially and her collection of music boxes. She said when she dusted her furniture (which was everyday) she would turn them all on at once .
The family would like to thank all the wonderful people and healthcare workers who have been so much a part of our lives since May. The staffs of Clovis Community hospital, San Joaquin Rehab., San Joaquin Gardens and Paint Brush Assisted Living. All of you were so loving and caring to Mom. We will be forever grateful.
