The family appreciates the outstanding care of Dr. Ruplinger, the UMHC staff, Integrity Home Care, Compassus Hospice and the staff of The Arbors at Colony Pointe. Particularly, Emily, Jackie, Amanda and Amy.
A very special thank you to Taxi Terry’s in particular Terry and Megan. You guys are wonderful. And to all of her friends at Edgewater Condos, she loved all of you.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.
If so driven, Memorial contributions to any veterans organization in her name would be appreciated.
