In lieu flowers the family requests a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at www.stjude.org.

Her final arrangements will be overseen by the Wright State University Boonshoft Medical School Anatomical Gift Program for educational purposes. Burial will be at Rockafield Cemetery on the Wright State Campus.
