She was known as "Sis" most of her life; some of her greatest pleasures in life was having a clean house, cooking and baking for her family and friends and spending time with her sisters. She also had a "green thumb" when it came to her flowers. "Sis" was a member of St. Ambrose parish and its ladies organization, the Daughters of St. Ambrose. She worked as a machine operator at Inland Shoe Company in Advance, Missouri.

She was also preceded in death by two brothers and three sisters. Friends may call after 4 p.m. on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 at the Amick-Burnett Funeral Chapel in Chaffee, MO.

Burial will follow at Union Park Cemetery in Chaffee, Missouri alongside her husband. The family wishes to give "Praises and Thanksgiving" in appreciation to all who took such compassionate care of "Sis" the last nine months of her life, in both units at the Lutheran Home and to the Lutheran Hospice care group who provided such comforting care and to those at the Chaffee Nursing Center who gave great care in the beginning stages of her Alzheimer's disease.
