She grew up partially deaf in rural Ohio and I think navigating that challenge made her into the indomitable firecracker she was- all 4 feet 9” of her! So she was undaunted when diagnosed, at 59, with Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer and given months to live, at one point the family was told she wouldn’t make it through the night. But she battled it like a boss; she was given the @americancancersociety Courage award. When she recovered- her doctors readily used the word “miracle” - she volunteered for many years at the hospital where she was treated. When she got older, she still volunteered from home by hand-sewing thousands of personalized teddy bears she’d take to others battling the disease to cheer them on. We couldn’t be more grateful we still got to have her with us all this time. She said that during chemo she used to pray and meditate on getting to watch her grandchildren grow up. And she’s done so much more than that! To all those battling cancer, don’t give up hope, we are sending you love; I hope that someday, on your 90th birthday, your grandkids are in awe of your strength and determination. I was always in awe of her pluck- she had a very Midwestern kind of can-do cheerfulness in the midst of any storm. And she gave the best hugs. She passed away peacefully just before Thanksgiving, holding my mom’s hand. My family already misses her so; we will treasure all she taught us. ❤️」12月10日 3時40分
