Erlene followed in her mothers foot-steps with the love and passion for cooking.  She was always cooking for relatives, neighbors, friends and strangers.  Her large holiday spreads were amazing!  Erlene loved to shop for everything from food to clothes, shoes to gadgets.  She looked forward to spring and summer so she could admire her husband great work after many long days of toiling the yard.  Erlene was a social butterfly who could strike up a conversation with anyone.  she had a smile that would light up a room.  Erlene loved to attend her children and grandchildren's sport events.  You could hear her cheers miles away!  She will be dearly missed by many.
