Her hobbies included collecting baby dolls, crystal critters, and bread dough dolls. She liked word games, needle point, knitting, and was a great cook, especially known for her chili and sauce.

She was active on Facebook, with her grandkids, loved funnel cake, volunteering, had faith in angels, liked butterflies, and had a lifetime friendship with Lee Kaufman. She will be greatly missed.
