Mom was a amazing woman. Always giving us encouragement in whatever we were doing. Motocross, Dragracing...)
After moms parents died in 1964 in a automobile accident. She used her inheritance to buy a Piper Cherokee and get her pilots license and never looked back...
She met her(late) current husband, also a aviator, and it was full throttle ahead! Mom would be invited to teach elementary school students about aviation and weather. Mom was a judge for aerobatic competitions. She was the "Pilot of the year" in 1981 for the 99's (a women's Pilot Organization). She was a member of the EAA and has been to Oshkosh and Sun-N-Fun every year since 1974! She has flown in everything from the Concord to a Cub.
Mom died of a broken heart. After her husband died, she has been going to the hospital for this and that. "adjusting her medicine"... She had a full life. I'm done here. Im going to go cry now.
