Dogs for the Blind, Henry 
Ford Hospital and served on 
the advisory committee at the 
Jewish Historical Society. She

and adventure. She visited 80 
countries, played with adult 
lions and tigers; but the true 
love of her volunteering life was 
working with baby pandas in

loved to fly, which brought her 
from a simple two-seater up to 
a small jet. She will be greatly 
missed.
