She was a cantor, member of the prayer group, and regular adorer at the Eucharistic Chapel for a holy hour.  The last 20 years of her life she accepted suffering for the salvation of souls, by living with severe fibromyalgia, migraines, and spinal arthritis. She encouraged others with her prayers and courage in living each day for the Lord. She was a prayer warrior and a good friend to many. Her kindness and generosity left a lasting impact on all her friends and family. She enjoyed her 3pm holy hour, daily TV mass, reading, visiting with friends, and babysitting Jeffrey Kelly’s lab, Lincoln.
