She was a faithful church and Bible study attendee and spent many hours volunteering with friends at church, at the Treasure Haus in New Ulm and at New 2 You in North Mankato. She enjoyed her family and friends, music, sports (especially basketball and baseball) and traveling. She and her husband visited all fifty states and several foreign countries.

Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him.

2 Timothy 2: 11-12a

There at my Savior’s side

Heav’n is my home.

I shall be glorified

Heav’n is my home.

There are the good and blest

Those I love most and best

And there I, too, shall rest

Heav’n is my home.
