Vida will be remembered as a kind, soft-spoken lady with a quiet and stubborn strength.

She was accomplished at quilting, crocheting, and sewing. She was eager to share this art with her siblings and her grandchildren. At age ninety, she was still altering pants for her granddaughter. She will be remembered for her style and grace and all-around class.
Many hold fond memories of her as a caregiver to children. It was truly the care of those around her, young and old, that acted a catalyst for her longevity. Her daughter, Dorothy, was rarely seen without Vida by her side, as they were not only mother and daughter but the best of friends.

The man that set the standards high & can be reached by no other, the man that can never be replaced by anyone, the man that could do anything & in our eyes did no wrong, the man that would teach us the difference in a "need" & "want" but gave either way, the man that made life seem simple-slow-happy. We selfishly miss him while knowing he is in a better place!
