She loved being outdoors, whether at the beach or near the mountains, she enjoyed the various birds and other wildlife. She was extremely proud of and devoted to her family. She enjoyed telling stories of her childhood, singing, cooking, gardening, playing the lottery, dancing the polka, and watching the Lawrence Welk Show every Saturday evening.
