Her family was her earthly treasure and she poured her life into loving, enjoying and serving them. She was our #1 fan.

She was a loving grandmother to Jeff Tolle and his wife Jocelyn; Blaine Burn and his wife Lisa; Eric Burn; Nick, Matt, and Jake Burn; Amber and Garret Blythe and Callie Gann and her husband Mike. To her great delight she was the great grandmother of Jared, Jessica and Jeremy Tolle; Sydney, Hallie and Danner Burn; Kennedy and Cash Burn; and Max Burn. She had nine grandblessings and nine great grandblessings. They all were the apple of her eye.

She enjoyed fishing and could fry up a batch of crappie that was eagerly enjoyed by all. She grew beautiful roses and loved to garden. She was an avid reader, and a wonderful cook, but mostly she enjoyed visiting with you and being with you. She loved people and saw the best in others and could befriend and love even the most difficult. Continually encouraging you with praise and thankfulness, she never gave up on you. Her door was always open to greet you, her arms outstretched to lovingly welcome you with something delicious ready to serve you. She was loved by all and we thank God for her.
