Mom was a faithful, dedicated member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served in many callings through the years, including in Relief Society and Primary, which she totally loved. Mom also really enjoyed singing the hymns which reflected her faith. One of her greatest joys was attending church and seeing her brothers and sisters!

Mom graduated from Greenwood High School. She worked at Acme Visible Records in Crozet, at Stromberg-Carlson in Charlottesville, and for UVA Food Services.

Mom was and is a die-hard University of Virginia basketball and football fan. She loved watching the games on television and cheering the teams on. She was overjoyed with the National Championship winning basketball team and watched every game of the tournament, even the late games. She would want me to add "GO WAHOOS"!
