They moved to California where she was actively involved at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, as a Scout den mother, in Cotillion and PTA, and in camping, sailing and gardening.

The family moved to San Juan Island, becoming involved with St. David’s, the San Juan Island Yacht Club, and the Jazz Festival. She was kind and loving and will be missed.
