Special thanks to Robin Meacham, Michele Meacham and Cheyanne Shoemaker for
their help at the end of her time on earth.  She enjoyed volunteering at St. Michael’s Byzantine in Merrillville.  One of her favorite memories was fulfilling her dream to travel to Switzerland. She enjoyed spending hours researching trip possibilities at her local library until she found one with which she traveled. She greatly enjoyed reading.
