Her hope was that this scholarship would go to someone who planned to serve as a military nurse.

“She was a nurse in the Phillippines in World War II, then she served in Korea, and then in Vietnam,” said Gail Anthony, CEO of the Community Foundation for Marquette County. Through her life insurance policy, she left three endowment funds to the Community Foundation of Marquette County that will continue to perpetuity. Her choice of benefactors represent those she was dedicated to helping.
