As a member of Frederick Chapter #79, O.E.S. she was Past Worthy Matron twice.

She taught us to take time to “smell the roses”. Her kind spirit and unconditional love calmed us when we needed it.  She had magical hugs. Her homemade apple pies and twinkly smile warmed our hearts then as they do now in her memory.
