After her retirement, she worked part time at Giant Eagle in McMurray where she was known for her great customer service and colorful outspokenness.

She lived every minute of her life to the fullest, was a welcoming host to all she knew, had a generous spirit, and a heart full of love.
The family wishes to thank all of the individuals who cared for her, especially the generous and kind-hearted caregivers at Paramount Senior Living and Country Meadows.
