Her family and camp on the Goodnow Flow were the center of her life where all were always welcome with open arms and her incredible smile.  She will forever be remembered for her love for new adventures and how she so enjoyed all the wonderful people she met along the way.  She was a square dancer, clogger, biker, quilter, gardener, enjoyed fishing, kayaking, canoeing, snowshoeing but one of her greatest passions was hiking the beautiful high peaks of her beloved Adirondack Mountains perhaps it was because it let her feel closer to God, and all the amazing wonders of His world.
