Miss Lathem had family all over the United States. She lived alone until a year and a half ago when she moved in with her friend/caregiver Lisa and family where she stayed until she passed.
Miss Lathem traveled all over the United States with her Mother Fannie. She would set and tell stories of all their adventures.
