When she was fourteen she was on a hay ride with several of her friends. A handsome young man of fifteen, Alfred Claude Hughes rode a horse up next to the hay ride and asked her if she wanted to go for a ride. She said it took her about three seconds to decide her answer was YES. That was the beginning of a 71 year love affair ... 67 of those years were married years. She was blessed. She was born to two loving parents and was married to a great husband and had a family and friends that loved her. She met so many wonderful people in her lifetime. She was still in touch with many of her high school friends and others she met throughout her life. On November 29, 2010, her sweetheart, Claude left this earth and went to live with Our Heavenly Father. She has been waiting to join him.
