She kept her hair and makeup done at all times and loved to go out. The family loved to see her going to the kitchen, as it meant Indian Tacos, biscuits and gravy, and any number of wonderful things to eat. She was loving and kind, with a caring heart, that also was outgoing and sure to make you laugh. She adored time spent with her daughters and her grandchildren, they were the light of her life. She was proud of her Cherokee heritage and carried on many of the traditional ways, including her membership in the Stokes Smith Ceremonial Ground, and attended stomps every chance she had.
