Sissi was an overwhelmingly powerful force of generosity, love, and laughter. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, listening to music, reading, learning, and watching sports of all kinds. She dedicated herself to improving the lives of everyone around her with gifts, be they made up of her time, energy, love, and attention or material things. She always went out of her way to help people and never thought twice about hopping on a plane or into her car to travel hundreds or even thousands of miles to help anyone she loved who was in need. Those of us who knew and loved her were made incalculably richer by her presence in our lives. We will miss her terribly every day, but take comfort in the fact that our memories of her laugh, love, and fine spirit are her enduring gift to us.
A memorial and celebration of Sissi's life will be held on Saturday, April 14 from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm at the First Unitarian Church of Cincinnati , 536 Linton Street, Cincinnati OH 45219.
