When she was not working, she the great outdoors type of lady, always ready to go do a little fishing, or camping. She was happy to be outside working in her garden, raising the most amazing blooms. She was headstrong and never afraid to offer her point of view on subjects when asked. Retha had the smile that lit up a room, and she loved to make people laugh.
