She made her children mind as they grew up. As her kids were growing up she would hide her romance paperback books from her husband around the house. She was sharp as a tack so it took some doing to pull pranks on her but when we did she enjoyed it. She and her husband worked hard to provide for their family. They tried their best to give them things that they needed but most importantly they gave them Love. She loved to read and play cards in her retirement at the Concho Manor.
