She loved going to the casino, out to eat, having a glass of wine and sharing stories. She loved animals; and, once raised and trained german shepherds. She enjoyed the beauty of plants, flowers especially lilies and birds. She was a bit of a bird whisperer. She loved her "thrift shopping" and her jewelry. The more "bling" the better.
