These same values made it easy for her to reach out in love to other women with children, who became a part of the Tops in Toys Fun Family. Starting in the family basement in 1960, Tops in Toys moved to Eaton Rapids and eventually the business expanded over 4 states. Surviving are her husband, Gerald Cramer of Mattawan, Sister Mildred (Millie) Nuoffer, Sister-Niece Barbara Hernly both of Eaton Rapids, 7 Children and 16 Grandchildren.
