Bunny was involved in her community where ever she lived.  She was a member of the American Association of University Women both in Monroeville and the North Hills.  She participated in many activities through AAUW including Book groups, Bridge groups and International Dinner groups.

She was a member of the Greybrooke Garden Club since 1987 and served as Publicity Chair for several years.

She was a spiritual person and was involved in a course in miracles.

Bunny was fun to be with and her wonderful sense of humor brought smiles to the faces of the friends.  Halloween was her favorite holiday.  She hosted Halloween events for a few of her friends just weeks before her death.  Bunny will be missed by her many dear friends but will also be remembered with a smile.
