Everywhere they lived she would immerse herself in the parish, the schools, and the community. Blessed with tremendous creative talents, with the skills to match, no project was beyond her capability. She made costumes for stage productions, flowers for weddings, and church decorations with equal enthusiasm. Her vivacious personality and sense of humor would be forever immortalized in her published book, “It’s My Turn-Now Where Was I?” No one will ever take her place. She will be cherished and loved forever. Funeral mass will be held Saturday, June 15, 2024 at 11 AM at St. Daniel Catholic Church, 7010 Valley Park Dr, Clarkston, MI 48346. In state at 10:30 AM.
