A graveside service will be held at Northfield Falls Cemetery, VT and a Celebration of Life service will be held at a later date in Norwalk.  Due to her love of animals the family is asking that any memorial contributions be made in her name to the Huron County Humane Society, 246 Woodlawn Avenue, Norwalk, OH 44857. 

Arrangements entrusted to the Evans Funeral Home, 314 E. Main Street, Norwalk.
