Mom always liked to have fun whether it was playing Yatzee, with her grandchildren or Skip Bo with Edna and Gloria, or playing crib with Rose. Mom loved to bake and was a tremendous cook. She will be remembered and missed by her family and is now joining her many friends. We thank the staff of the lodge on Fourth for their care and attention they gave our mother.
