She donated her body for medical research to help further studies for cancer patients. At this time there is no set in stone celebration of life for her just yet, but we will be doing a celebration of life at a later date.
Our family wouldn't have been able to get through this time and cancer journey without the help of Mark Shoop, Aunt Carol Masden, and Brittany "Ziggy" Johnson. We send you the biggest sincerest thank you! Your sacrifices did not go unnoticed.
