At the beginning of her stay at Grandview, she spent many hours wandering from room to room, looking for somewhere she could help out. She will also be remembered for her superb coffee, accompanied by a home baked treat of some sort, often bread or kringle. She spent considerable effort in mainting many Danish traditions for the family, especially Jul (Christmas), her favourite season. She was renowned for her shared Christmas cookie plates, and for the real candles on a live tree. We will do our best to honour her memory by keeping these traditions alive.</p>Obituary
