Mavis continued to live at their home until early February of 2017. Mavis enjoyed community events and attended regularly, until her balance began to waiver and health to fail. She loved the Centerville High School basketball games and school programs, serving lunch after the Homecoming parade, Arts Council Productions, and a good visit with anyone who had the time to talk.
