Among her many accomplishments was receiving a commission to paint President Ronald Reagan's portrait. She was delighted to receive a letter from the President thanking her for her work. Her favorite place was her lovingly restored stone house in Baska, Krk. When her grandchildren joined her at her home for the summer holiday, her joy was complete.
