Later, she taught English and counseled high school students with the Plymouth, Indiana and Edwardsburg Public Schools. She was an active leader in the Michigan Education Association, and she was an advisor to the National Honor Society. She enjoyed travel with her family, reading and gardening. She is survived by her husband, Tom E. ROSS, her brother, William P. SNIP of Sparta, her children, Thomas W. ROSS of Kalamazoo, Timothy T. ROSS of Vancouver, WA, and Heidi A.
