• Notes

  After many years of living alone, she married Charlie Berger in 1982. They were able to spend quality time together in Florida before he preceded her in death in 1985. After Charlie's death, she continued to travel with group tours for many years. She spent many years rearing her family and working on the farm where she was born. In later years, she moved to Olney and worked as a caregiver as an aide at the hospital and later in private care for many individuals in the area. She was an avid quilter. She spent many hours quilting with the ladies at First United Methodist Church in Olney. She also spent many hours helping to make lap robes for needy children and adults. Each of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren has many beautiful quilts that were handmade for them by her. She was a member of First United Methodist Church in Olney.
