MAHLICH

Lord on June 3, 2018.

was famous for her macaroni and cheese with strawberry shortcake and ice cream being her
favorite desserts.

Her many hobbies included reading, sewing, flower gardening, feeding birds, swimming
and camping. What she loved the most was being a wife and mother.

whether it was asked for or not.

they enjoyed their winters square-dancing.
