She was a wonderful dancer and, until very recently, could jive the socks off anyone. She was immensely proud of all of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren and was happy to be the main reason for their existence. In earlier days she was known as “mom”, not only to her children, but to her children’s friends. She will be dearly missed by all and remembered forever.
