Since her husband’s death in 1985, she was a member of the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of the ALS Association, and volunteered with them for many years.  Originally an elementary  school teacher, she became a school librarian, working for many years in the Pottstown school district.  She was a champion of reading and the written word, most especially in books, and helped establish the Exeter Community Library in 1999.  She was a member of the Friends of the Library until the end of her life, as well as the Friends of the Berks County Libraries, and had served as President of the Friends of the Exeter Community Library.  She was devoted to the power and magic of storytelling, as well as the power of friendship.
