She worked for many years in the Dietary Department at Christ Hospital. Afterward, she spent a short time at Kenner’s before beginning a 30-year career at Strietmann’s Bakery, which later became Keebler Cookies, where she worked on the production line until her retirement in 1995.

We will miss her smile, her laugh and smirk, when she thought she said something cute or being clever. We will miss how she would light up when one of her grand kids or one wandering son would visit, or even just a friend would stop by.  Knowing that her light shines in heaven with the Lord gives us comfort in knowing that will keep that light forever shinning in our hearts.
