church and received her ministry license, took up painting and became an artist selling some of her paintings. She filled her later years taking cruises, playing electronic games on her phone and iPad, socializing on Facebook and researching her family genealogy. She always looked forward to going back to Oklahoma for her cousins’ annual reunions.
