She worked at Wal-Mart in Kewanee for 14 years starting as a baker and retiring as a cashier. She loved to crochet, tend to her flower gardens and yard work.
A special message to my adopted daughters and sons at Wal- Mart. Just remember I love each and everyone of you very much. I'll always remember you; and remember mom's watching you so have all the fun you can.
