She had 13 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren (with another due in November) and one great great granddaughter. She was very involved in the activities of the various parishes she attended. She was the Woman of the Year and President of the Council of Catholic Women at St. Rose of Lima in Layton, Utah, where she lived for 34 years. She and Bob moved to Tempe in 2004 and became members of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (OLMC). She attended daily Mass as much as her health allowed. She belonged to the Sodality at OLMC and two rosary groups. Her homemade jam, pies and banana bread always sold out at the bake sales.
