Community College Cultural Arts Center and volunteered for the Kansas City Symphony as well as the John Wornall House. She loved to take friends to tour gardens. When traveling, she was never afraid to get off the beaten path to explore. Singing in the choir was something she enjoyed all her life. It gave her the opportunity to sing at Carnegie Hall. Her family was her greatest delight, and she was very demonstrative in her love and devotion to them.

“For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
