Her grand nieces and nephews spent many hours in rapt attention as she told long, creative stories using their names as well as characters chosen by them.  They also loved her art and craft projects, which were always a hit at the family camp.  The entire family will remember her through the wonderful photographs she took of generations of our family, in portraits and candids.
