Mom married the love her life David on November 13, 1957 and have been together the last 62 years. Mom stayed at home raising the five of us on Oneida Street in Appleton and they made the big decision to move up north to Townsend WI in 1979 as owners of Sleepy Hollow Resort. Over the years they sold the cottages but have operated the 18-hole miniature golf course the last 41 years. The mini golf has been a very popular stop for tourists and the locals having their weekly Monday night Redneck golf event. Mom will be missed every day, but we have so many great memories throughout her life as she touched so many with her love. We love you mom.
