She was loved immensely by her family & friends for her kind heart of service. She was always eager to help whenever she saw someone in need. She loved her puppy, Maggie and the two of them were responsible for many smiles and much love that they exuded each day to anyone they encountered. Her light and her love will be missed my so many.
A Celebration of Life will be held on a later date. Hahn Funeral Home has been entrusted with handling the final arrangements.
