She was kind, unassuming and caring, with a natural instinct for helping and comforting others. She was devout in her faith, and praying the rosary for others was a daily and important part of her life.

Along with her husband, she owned and operated local restaurants for many years.

Surviving are one daughter, Janet L. (Tom) Schultheis of Jasper; one son, John (Lynn) Oxley of Roswell, Ga.; six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Preceding her in death, besides her husband and parents, are a brother, Edward Bohro, and a sister, Mary Ann Holle.

The family expresses its gratitude to the Legacy Living staff for their excellent and compassionate care.

Burial will be in Fairview Cemetery in Jasper. Services will be private, and no public visitation will be held.
