She spent her entire life living in St Paul until her final year at Harmony Gardens Assisted Living in Maplewood. She worked as a secretary for 3M and also as a paraprofessional for special needs children. Her most important roles were being a wife and a mom to her four children. She was a faithful and loving servant to everyone.
