She was a dedicated member of the Liberal High School family for over 23 years, serving as a cook and custodian. She cherished the time spent with her close-knit group of friends from work, who were like sisters to her. She also treated each student like her own, offering not only mentorship but also providing for their needs. Her collection of crosses and angels was a reflection of the faith and compassion she shared with everyone in her life.

Her love for her family was immeasurable. She cherished every moment spent with them. She is remembered for her warm spirit and the love she spread throughout her life.
