She was a loving and wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was a selfless woman who always made the best of any situation. She laughed from the heart and made all days brighter with her smile and laughter. She always had her camera at her side. She had a profound love for the great outdoors, often capturing the beauty of nature with her award winning photographs. Moms other love was up at the cabin and farm house. All three of us girls were blessed to share a carefree life with her walking through her woods. The smiles and laughs we all shared. She loved the nature and was at peace there; she hiked there, hunted there, taught our father how to shoot a bow there. This was a true gift she shared with many family members. Thanks to her, all lives who touched her were changed forever in the best way possible. We are who we are because of her love. Mom also loved to bake. She was an award winning baker. She won awards for her Irish Soda bread, beating out old Irish women and scored a beautiful Waterford Crystal vase.

She was happy and wanted joy and laughter to celebrate her life. She loved flashy bright colors, the beach, butterflies, humming birds, flamingos, and zebras. She had a silly wit about her; those close to her saw this on a regular basis. Always the optimist dreaming of better days and perseverance for herself and all of those around her.
