She enjoyed baking and spending time with her family. Even last month at age 94, Gertrude insisted on baking for the family Thanksgiving dinner. She thought the world of her grandchildren and would light up every time they visited. She never met a stranger, was a great host and enjoyed making company feel comfortable and welcome in her home.
