go to the movies, and travel. She loved listening to
country music, watching game shows, and crime
dramas. She retired from Eaton and always enjoyed
getting together with the other retired girls once a
month to chat it up at the Blue Dog.

Bill would have wanted me to mention that she was a
fan of baseball and the great Chicago Cubs. Go
Cubbies!
