For many years, she taught calligraphy at Battell Center in Mishawaka; She also served the Lord by joining her husband in Gospel Chalk Art Ministry as a ventriloquist, presenting programs at many Churches and special Christian gatherings in the area. Her life was centered on loving and serving Jesus and her family. She will be missed.
