She became a resident of The Masonic Village of Elizabethtown in May ’02. She was an active volunteer member of the community. Perhaps her favorite thing of all was making baby blankets for Project Linus. She crocheted 54 blankets in all; many done almost entirely by feel as macular degeneration slowly took her vision.
