She assisted many people from across the country through the Ancestry website who have moved away from Kewaunee County and needed help finding ancestors, even taking pictures of former homes, farms and gravestones. She was a big supporter of Felix Dart Racing and was the “official” team photographer and videographer on race nights for many years. Those photos and videos still bring smiles and good memories today. She also enjoyed watching the Packers, Brewers & Badgers. She is preceded in death by her parents, husband James, sister Yvonne, her father & mother-in-law Clarence & Mildred LaFond, sister-in-law Jeanne Spanks, her husband Al and their son Sean.
