She enjoyed visiting new places, learning new crafts, and excursions to casinos. Trying new foods was probably her favorite past time. She was always wanting to try a new cuisine or dish. Through the years she accumulated and shared a lot of recipes with friends and families. Eating good food always brought a big smile to her face. She will be missed.
