Mom loved to sew and you could be assured that anything she made would last forever. She sewed the wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses for her daughters' weddings and countless articles of clothing for her daughters and the grandchildren. She had a special talent for cooking and baking and it showed in everything she made. She and dad loved to travel. We had enjoyable family vacations every year, going to national parks, Mexico, California to visit family or meeting the relatives half way at Yellowstone National Park. After we kids were out on our own they were able to go to Hawaii and they would spend many late winters down in Arkansas living in their travel trailer for 6-8 weeks catching up with their down south camping friends. A special trip she was able make was to Sweden with her brother and sister-in-law to visit the place her father was born and meet the Swedish relatives.
She was a faithful member of St Therese Catholic Church for 60 plus years and her Catholic faith was very important to her.
Graveside services for the family will be held at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Mosinee on Tuesday, August 25, 2020 at 10 am with Father Albert officiating.
