She attended Har-Brack High School, and after graduating in 1953, moved

her life, Richard, in 1960. They resided in Butler, PA, adding four daughters to their family

creative household where she loved decorating for the holidays and shared her many talents of

community; she even made all 4 daughters’ wedding cakes. There was never a shortage of icing
in the refrigerator for guests.
