She grew up there, and in 1961, she met and married her first husband, Walt. They had three children, Brenda, Wendy, and Wally. She moved to California with her children in 1979, and over the course of 39 years she worked in Aerospace, sales, home remodeling, and piano bar entertainment as a singer songwriter and piano player. In the late ‘70s she made a record with two of her songs, “Proud to be a Mother,” and “Wasting His Time.” “Proud to be a Mother” was adopted as the theme song for the California based HOW organization. In 1992, she met and married the love of her life, Ben Beshoar, who passed away in 2007. The two of them often worked together in his electrical business and in 1999, they moved themselves and the business to Tehachapi. Mom was a hardworking, honest, generous, and compassionate woman who could do anything once she set her mind to it. She loved to entertain and treat people.

She is survived by her sister, Phyllis; brother, Dick; her three children and their spouses; her grandchildren Jason, Melissa, Johnny, Alisia, Brandon, Chris, Jessica, Alex, Walter, and Dakota; and six great-grandchildren.
