At her prime, she could give many of the men a run. She loved not only her golf but spending beautiful summer days outside with friends along with the challenges of the sport.
After 25 years of service as a school bus driver for Byron-Bergen, culminating as the district Director of Transportation, she retired and relocated to Florida with Robert to enjoy many more sunny days on the greens.
Services will be announced at a later date.
