Special Nana to her 13 grandchildren: Aaron (Jen), Jordan, Chloe, Ryan, Zoë (Alex), Brett, Brock (Christie), Nik, Tessa, Andria, Elise, Meghan and Marcus, who spent countless hours learning the ins and outs of Euchre and many other card games as taught by Nana, and 3 Great-Granddaughters – her “3 Girls” Addyson, Sydney and Amèlie. Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. The family thanks her lifetime friend Ardath Rice (Auntie Rice) for all her love and support especially in her last two weeks.
