She dedicated 43 years of her life to the various minor leagues teams that eventually became the San Antonio Missions. Her and her late husband “Candy” worked side by side for many years and employed countless young high school and college students that went on to become very successful. She enjoyed hearing of their success and loved when they came back to visit with her. She was especially proud of the 5 Texas League Championship Rings she was awarded throughout the years, but she truly just loved being a part the game.
