Her greatest joy in her last years were family visits especially with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Most recently, during her stays with daughters in PA, she celebrated family and life with trips for ice cream, playing cards and memory games and socializing with her weekly support group. Holidays were favorite times and she eagerly celebrated them with the whole family.
