She had a weak heart and all odds were against her but, she still continued to fight her battle for over a month before finally succumbing to heart failure. She was born on August 29, 1940 in Laurium, Michigan where she loved to ice skate and make pasties. She then moved to Orlando, Florida where she was employed by 7-Eleven Inc. for thirty five years.
