She ran the MR/DD snack shop for Canton City Hall which she was very proud of and known for her pepperoni rolls. She was also involved in the Special Olympics, coached cheerleading for East Canton and was a Union representative. One of her greatest accomplishments was being very involved in helping build the East Canton Community Center. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Association.
