She was an amazing cook; who can forget the holiday family get-togethers at her house where we gathered to enjoy her delicious food!
And her legendary pies are still talked about today!
We all remember her gorgeous rose garden with the big wooden wagon wheel.
She had an immense love for cats and dogs.
She also enjoyed drawing and playing the harmonica.
