Mom was an awesome cook and baker. Her fried chicken and chocolate cake was always a favorite contribution to Bob's hunting trips. She was an excellent seamstress creating many Halloween costumes, dance costumes and beautiful formal dresses for her daughters. She loved gardening, reading, playing guitar, fishing and shopping. Her passion in life was her artwork in both watercolor and pastel medias, for which she was recognized at local art fairs in Rochester and Park Rapids, Minnesota.
