She devoted herself to spending time with family and friends, whether for special occasions, or genuine quality time. As a result of her generous spirit and positive personality, she was loved by many.

Known as “Grannie”, she is survived by her beloved fur baby Abby and four children: Paula & Edwin Markell, Frederick & Chong Hee Hanson, Cheryl & Paul Kirkland, and Pamela Beshore; twelve grandchildren, twenty-three great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.
