Through the mysterious workings of Providence, she met Michael O'Brien, moved to the eastern plains, and started a family. Several years were spent on the farm working the fields, herding cattle, trying to create the largest collection of petrified wood in Eastern Colorado, and raising 5 awesome kids.

Then life took a different turn, as it so often does, and she was found once more in Imogene to help her mom in her time of need.

When that chapter closed, she made one last move, and spent the remainder of her life in Bayfield, Colorado. She spent her days doting on her grandchildren, playing card games, mastering puzzles, and taking her yearly trip to enjoy the changing fall colors. She loved a good laugh and a good margarita, her faith in God and her love for Jesus carried her through life, truly a loving mother, beloved sister, grandmother to 8 wonderful kids, a devoted friend, who touched so many lives. Mom, you will always be in our hearts, but you will be greatly missed until we're all together again in our heavenly Father's house.
