She received her BS in Home Economics from Whittier College, Whittier CA.

She sang in several church choirs, was an accomplished pianist and volunteered to play the piano in school and church productions. She also volunteered for various other groups and within her own church. She loved her cats, living on her daughter and son-in-law's farm, and spending time with her children and friends. She played Bingo every Wednesday where she made a number of new friends, laughed with them, and thoroughly enjoyed herself. She was very gracious and lovely, kind and thoughtful, to everyone she came across.

She was a daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, friend, volunteer, homemaker and so very much more to those who had the privilege to know her. She will be very much missed by those who knew and loved her and through the grace of our Lord, mom was cared for so very well.

She married Finley Marcellus Fritz on August 31, 1951 in Whittier, CA. He preceded her in death March 5, 2014.
