During her 51-year marriage to the late Robert Luke she was an avid golfer, celebrating 3 holes in one. She was a very faithful person and enjoyed her work at Messiah Lutheran Church and the Lutheran Synod office for many years as a bookkeeper. She was also bookkeeper for Luke Apartments and took great pride in having learned computer skills. She was a dedicated hockey mom who also enjoyed traveling and spent several years living in Arizona before returning to Marquette to be near family. In recent years she joined the American Legion Auxiliary, where she spent many Sundays enjoying family, pizza and cribbage.
