She was witty, bossy, and would tell you like it is, but loved hard and cared a lot for her family from cooking, caretaking, or making you laugh. She showed love by baking for you, gifting quilts or sending unique and handpicked items to decorate your house with. She loved spending time outdoors planting and gardening or just taking walks through nature. She loved animals of every size from frogs to dogs, cats, and any wildlife she stumbled upon. She rescued animals and loved every minute of it. She was never afraid to get dirty being outdoors in the garden or nurturing sick animals back to good health. She was true to herself and one of a kind.
