port Michel went to sleep in

came as a result of the strokes,

attitude. She loved spending
time with her children and
grandchildren. She collected
novelty bells and spoons
from around the country.
She also enjoyed
collecting pictures
of nature. She loved
Jesus with all of her
heart and made her
family promise to
meet her in Heaven
someday.

by her parents,
her older brother
Leon, and two of
her younger sisters,
Katie and Maxine. She is
survived by her husband of
65 years, Jim, and her sons

and her youngest son Kevin
and his partner Tracy Bosen.
