She passed away quietly at home December 4, 2017 in her 99th year.  Her family and friends were the singular focus of her life and the stories never stopped being told.  She kept up with current affairs and was an avid reader of newspapers, magazines and advertisements. Her memory was astounding, particularly of prices from 1937 to the present, of numbers and of dates.

 She was predeceased by husband Peter, son Ronn, daughter Wanda, brothers John, Walter and Bill and sisters Mary, Annie, Olga and Jennie.
