A fourth grade teacher for over 30 years in Torrance, California, she impacted the lives of countless children. Her 41-year marriage to Al was filled with travel and sports. During this wonderful time, they played racquetball and golf, bowled, were avid RVers, and cruised the world in their later years. She was a great teacher, a wonderful wife, and an incredible mother. Her fight to the end with energy and positivity was inspiring. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing her will certainly miss her.
