She loved going for cruises in the Corvette with her husband, especially when the ride ended with a milkshake. A spirited card player, she enjoyed many lively games of Skip-Bo and Canasta with family and friends. Her favorite holiday was Christmas, when she filled her home with Santa figurines and lovingly decorated her Christmas tree each year. She also had a gift for cooking and a heart for caring for others, always making sure those around her felt loved and well-fed.
