To know “Mug” as she was lovingly called, was to know a woman with a beautiful heart and a smile to match. She could out cook, sew, can, fish, work, play and anything else she put her mind to. Her greatest joy was spending time with her loved ones while cooking up a family meal for all to enjoy. We were so blessed to know and love her. We will always cherish the memories we had together.
