High school sweethearts, they married on February 14, 2017, and settled in Lewis Center, where they worked together at Insight Enterprises. From Sailor Moon to the world of Pokémon, she loved exploring worlds and collecting keepsakes. Her Munchkin skill was the envy of cons. In short, she was the very best, like no one ever was.
