Her yard was a showplace. Especially beautiful were the peonies she grew. She and Jack loved the outdoors and spent much of their leisure time in the mountains. She and Jack working together built a beautiful mountain home overlooking Soldier Creek Reservoir.
She was preceded in death by Jack in 2002, and by two of her sons: Gary Watterson and Mark Watterson. She is survived by her son Steven (Sherry) Watterson, and two step-daughters, Shirley (Lynn) Christensen and Pamela (Melvin) Myers. She has many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
