Before becoming a full time homemaker, mother, and babysitter for her grandchildren she was employed for various clothing mills in the Slate Belt area. A 1954 graduate of Pen Argyl High School where to this day she loved talking about her cheerleading experience. She also enjoyed attending all her class reunions until her illness.
Even though she never played an instrument or couldn’t really hold a tune music was her passion. Especially dancing even a few weeks before her passing to Dean Martin and Elvis Presley. Like her late husband Mert the most enjoyment in her life was being around family especially watching her grandchildren and great grandchildren growing up and achieving many goals in their lives.
Nanny was always the go to babysitter who never said NO and like most, her grandchildren did NO wrong. She was a former member of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Wind Gap.
