She was well known as The Bleanie Lady, making the batter for the church bazaars and Marian’s summer picnic.

She enjoyed traveling and saw many sites in Europe, Hawaii, Alaska and Las Vegas. She was an avid Duke basketball and Notre Dame football fan. She was an enthusiastic bingo and casino player.
