She loved her family and loved to travel. She loved her church and gave her time freely to those in need of her help. She had a passion for crocheting and loved to learn new patterns. Enjoyed reading her Western or romance novels. Always enjoyed a good movie and loved to eat out!
Her sweetheart and life partner of 30 years made sure that she never lacked for anything. He was the love of her life and she will be waiting for him to join her for eternity.
