She was also an avid Minnesota Twins and Timberwolves fan.

She is survived by her children, Judy (Ken) Mosloski of Cedar, Richard (Joyce) of St. Cloud, and David (Connie) of St. Cloud; seven grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren; brother-in-law, Marvin Spoden and many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
