She was most comfortable visiting with friends and family at home, around camp fires, and in small gatherings. For her, rain was always a reason to shop and sunshine was for enjoying a spirited drive. She and Jeff traveled for many years on touring motorcycles and later in motorhomes, seeing most of north America. Of the many places they visited, she most enjoyed summers in Alaska. At home in Napa she enjoyed Wednesday lunches at Applebees with Espie and friends, as well as baking, making porcelain dolls, and reading. She always had dogs to love and leaves Greta & Zeva to watch over Jeff.

Her service is on April 26, 11am (doors open 10) at Tulocay Cemetery.
