Since coming to Whitman and the death of her husband, she has been the cashier of her son's Epicure shop in Whitman where she met and made many friends. Affectionately known at the "shop" as "Grandma" by everyone, even by those her own age, her smile and her easy chatter will be missed by many of the townspeople.
