She was born in Rilton, Pennsylvania to Elva Wallace and lived in the south prior to making Colorado her home in 1975.

Her hobbies and interests included spending time with family, baking, cooking, sewing, arts and crafts, reading and gardening. She was an avid Rockies fan and even followed them throughout her illness. She was an excellent artist and has the honor of having one of her pieces on display at the Smithsonian Art Institute.

She is survived by her husband, Ron; children and spouses, Curtis Amy, Bonnie Steve, Mike Sherri, Matt Lisa, Vicky Joe, Chris Eve, Valerie Mark, Glen Mischelle, Mary, Donna, Steve and Bruce Angie; 34 grandchildren; 4 great-grandchildren and 2 on the way; her mother, Elva; brother, John; sisters, Peggy, Jackie, Debbie, Tammy, Bobbie & Lana.
