She had an older brother, Ralph Jr, and Tom, Mary, and Rollin, whom she often shared fond memories of from their time on the farm.

In her life she worked as a greeting card artist, seamstress, mural artist, teacher, and retired from Kmart. An avid traveler, she loved to photograph the different landscapes and people she saw and would often later paint the subjects in her home studio. A perpetual and prolific artist she loved to paint, garden, and sew. She kept a garden of breathtaking irises, bountiful peonies, and slightly mean cats. She made the best deviled eggs and the worst mac & cheese. At 87, she still taught watercolors and quilting classes weekly. She lived a fulfilling and inspiring life. She was deeply loved and admired and we will all miss her everyday.
