She spent years working on handmade quilts, afghans and loved to crochet. Her other favorites were trips to Jackpot, Nev., and playing cards when people came to visit.

"During those visits no one ever left her home hungry," her family said, adding, "she had a strong religious belief and all of her family and friends were remembered often in her prayers. She was a very faithful and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend."

She is survived by: a daughter, Janet Sugg Hahn, and her husband, Bill; a son, Wayne Sugg, and his wife, Velma; five grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren (her 10th great-grandchild will be born in the next two weeks).
