She was quite the entertainer and had a sweet tooth. She would always have a “snack” available in case someone stopped to visit. She enjoyed playing kings corner, Yahtzee, and a card game of golf. She experienced many laughs playing dice with her girlfriends!
She was devoted to her family and adored her friends. She deeply loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren. The sparkle in her eye and smile on her face were heartwarming to watch when they visited.
