     Red Cross projects, especially during WWI and WWII, occupied any spare 
     
     moments she might have. Many of the younger local women remember attending 
     
     her sewing classes. One notable achievement was the creation of the ‘Victory’ |

     local serviceman in the design which surrounded the central Red Cross emblem.

     death in her ninety-ninth year.

     essence of her very being.
