She loved kids and kids loved her.  She also loved people and was always willing to help others and to become their friend.  Mom was an excellent cook and always tried new recipes.  For the most part she was a homemaker.  However, she did sell Avon to help her son serve a mission and then she worked school lunch mostly at Syracuse Elementary and Hill Field Elementary schools.

She was very active in the Church of Jesus of Latter-day Saints.  She served in the Primary, Young Women and Relief Society.  Whenever a chaperone was needed mom would volunteer or would be volunteered by kids in the ward.
