Always an avid seamstress and quilt maker, her most favorite “hobby” was her grandchildren, whom she dearly loved.
In 2004, she moved to Southern California, for the third time, where she was Treasurer of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority. She always said her two favorite places: Maine and California were too far apart.
In 2007, she relocated to Roanoke Rapids, NC where she resided with the “Hews Clan” until 2015. Upon returning to her family home in Dover-Foxcroft, ME, she was able to revisit many familiar places and people.
