Always known as 'the life of the party', an invitation to their home, 'Roads End', on the river meant good times for all. Early into retirement she joined the team to open the Northern Neck Free Health Clinic in Millenbeck, where she worked and also volunteered much of her free time.After losing Pops and saying goodbye to VA, she packed her bags and joined Karla in SC. Her joys were her new friends, her condo, the beach, pool and weather. You could mostly find her on the porch in her white wicker rocker reading the latest novel. Her dearest cats Peeps and Angel kept her company until a health decline caused her to need a roomie. Karla moved in March 1, 2019, and together they spent the next 7 years, to the day, in Pawleys Island. She was diagnosed with Dementia in June of 2023 and had been fighting every day since. In October, 2026, Hospice took over her care.
