She lived her entire life in Burbank having lived in the same home since 1948. She was a long time member and docent with the Burbank Historical Society and was an active member of the Women’s Club of Burbank and the Franciscan Seniors. She loved playing cards and taking trips to the casinos. She was a long time L.A. Dodger and seldom missed watching a game.

She was the best Mom and Grandma, always putting her family first, living by the Golden Rule, always with a smile and always finding the good in everyone.
