She always found the best deals and the best outlet stores. She could never pass up a good deal on a canned good in the grocery store either. She enjoyed her home and the peaceful time she spent reading many books or just enjoying a cozy place to sit. She and her daughter Judy had traveled the northwest recently to sightsee, go shopping and visit family. She had a quirky personality which she shared with others up to her last days. She especially enjoyed spending time with her family, grandchildren and friends. Blessed be her memory.
