She deeply loved her family and got the most enjoyment from cooking for her family, especially during the holidays. She also enjoyed spending time outdoors just sitting and looking at God’s creation, especially flowers. In her younger years, she loved painting ceramics with her friends, tending to her garden and canning the fruit of her labor. She was loved and will be missed, but will live forever in our hearts.
