She was a beloved friend of many. She touched our lives with her humor, her wisdom, and her intellect. Many of her observations inspired major decisions in our lives.

She loved horseback riding, playing with her dogs Maddie and Ollie, and seeing friends for good food and even better conversation.

Her family predeceased her: Her mother Clara, father Raymond, sister Christine, and brother Randy. She will be interred privately with her family in Astoria, Oregon.

She will be greatly missed.
