She will be remembered by all who knew her for her talent for sewing and knitting, her creative and loving spirit, and her perpetual generosity and kindness. She was always there to lend a hand, help a friend, support her family and have a fresh pot of coffee ready for anyone who came to call.

She leaves to cherish her memory, a daughter and son-in-law, Karen and Harry Jones of Cecil, PA, a son and daughter-in-law, Charles and Lisa Wallace of Hubbard, Ohio, and her cherished friends and extended family.
