During the summer, the Chicago Cubs were her constant companion, and at her Arizona winter home the Phoenix Suns kept her entertained. She loved traveling, gardening, watching birds, ducks and geese, and playing cards, gin rummy and bridge being her games of choice. She was devoted to a succession of family dogs, but her chief love in life was people. She will be remembered and missed by the many friends who often joined her, to enjoy lively and often colorful conversation. Though her children and grandchildren live in other states, they were always in her thoughts and prayers. The body will be cremated and there will be no visitation. Services will be announced at a later date. There has been a memorial established to the Presbyterian Church. Condolences may be left at www.lattindugan.com.
