She had a great heart with many people in mind always. That attitude of life, she was given many friends throughout Arizona, Arkansas, California, and Nevada. After her first son was born, she and Wayne managed a hotel in Parker, Arizona where they had a fabulous time. She was known for her love of miniatures including having a setup in Rogers, Arkansas at “The Rose”. One of her favorite singers was Celine Dion. In California, she loved the beach and living on 7th street which she made many friends! in July 2019, she and Wayne moved to Las Vegas to be close to Michael and family where she spent 3 years and was a wonderful neighbor to all!
