She was a longtime and active member of the Catholic Parish of St. John the Baptist in Edmond. She was the founding member and chair of the Welcoming Committee for many years.

In addition, she custom designed and sewed a vestment for the parish priest. Her hobbies included cooking, canning, gardening, photography, sewing and travel.

Always a great lady with a ready smile and helping hands, she will be deeply missed by family, friends, and the church community.

A mass and memorial service will be held in her honor at the Catholic Parish of St. John the Baptist, Ninth and Boulevard, Edmond, OK, Saturday, August 31, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.
