Born in Dickson City, daughter of the late William and Ethel G.

She was an artist in the needle arts and created many beautiful items. It gave her great joy to present family and friends with her beautiful quilts, afghans, numerous clothing items and drapes. She welcomed any challenge to create and often made something beautiful by just looking at a picture.

Her legacy is a family who loved her deeply. Surviving are daughters, Ann Rapoch Super and husband David of New Bern, NC; Sandra Matthews and husband Barry of Concord, NC; Kathleen Sparacino Giannone of Throop; and Joanne Gonzalez and husband Marc, North Abington Township.
