She was born in Redondo Beach, CA, but spent the rest of her life in Eugene, OR. She graduated South Eugene High School (2007) . Mark Clark was her partner They were a perfect match, thoroughly enjoying each other’s company. She loved gardening and cooking and typically cooked ethnic dishes on ethnic holidays.
