Mom lived her entire life in Petaluma, 75 years on the same property. Mom was the seamstress for the family. she could be seen patching blown out Levis, sewing buttons, and making costumes. During evening hours you could find her crocheting blankets. Many family members and friends are recipients of her handy work. Mom retired from the Petaluma School District. Every year during the Sonoma Marin Fair, Mom volunteered helping judge bake goods and preserves. Mom's greatest accomplishment in life was being a wife, mom, mother-in-law, and Nonnie.
