She was especially devoted to her grandchildren who adored her, reflected in these words from her grandson Justin:

"Although I'm glad she is now rejoicing with Carl in God's presence, she will be missed for the time being until we see her again.  I'd like to share that Grandma was and will forever continue to be a blessing, both with the memories we shared and also the countless words of wisdom that will be passed on for generations."
