Funeral Director

Being employed by Lake Victory Cosmetology for several years as an instructor and many years at home raising her children and aiding her
husband in running his plumbing company and other ventures, kept her very busy. Her life was full with large family functions and she loved to socialize with friends and family. She was known for being opinionated and antics that still make those close, smile. She is and will continue to be greatly missed.

No public funeral service is scheduled. Final cremation arrangements have been entrusted to Peasley Funeral Home, Lincoln, Illinois. Burial will be at a later date to be determined.
