She is survived by many family members and friends. She
asked that this poem be her obituary.
“When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom filled room. Why cry for a soul that’s
free? When you are lonely and sick at heart go to the friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me-but let me go.”
A graveside service will be held Friday October 9, 2015, at
11:00 a.m. at Fairview Cemetery in Basalt, Colorado.
In lieu of flowers, doantions can be made to Hospice of the
Valley, 1901 Grand Ave. #206, Glenwood Springs, CO 81601.
