Family was her first priority; she took great pride and effort to provide an environment of love in raising and caring for her family.

Her strength and strong Faith was something admired by everyone who knew her and will be her lasting legacy.

She enjoyed going to various dance events with her husband over the years and enjoyed the Shriners and Masonic balls.
