She was also a member of the order of Amaranth and is a Past Royal Matron as well as serving as a Grand Officer twice. She was also a member of the Windham Whirlers Square Dance Club. She was very proud of all her children and their accomplishments. Her greatest joy was her grandchildren. She enjoyed taking them on outings and sleepovers. She enjoyed life to the fullest and always said she was a very rich person, being blessed with her family and many good friends. This wealth was far more valuable to her than any amount of money. I'm very blessed she would say! Her family will receive relatives and friends on Tuesday April 5th between 6:00 and 8:00pm at Potter Funeral Home 456 Jackson St. (Rte. 195) Willimantic.
