She began her professional career at Shand Morahan as an Administrative Assistant. During her life she also spent some time with Environmental Risk Consultants, the Evanston school district and finally as an Executive Assistant at the Foundation of the Rotary International. At each stop, the pursuit of excellence and perfection was her standard operating procedure. Her personal life was be characterized by her big heart and her natural love of living. She was a strong-willed woman with a very gentle soul. Giving of herself and helping others has always been a major part of her makeup. She had a serious zest for life and took every opportunity that presented itself to be outdoors and in the sun. She had an unquenchable thirst for the arts, particularly dance and the theater. She was a regular theater goer and a season ticket holder at the Goodman theater. We will all miss her broad smile, warm heart and her love of life. Rest in peace my love.
