She made friends with everyone everywhere she went. She made everyone smile and was always happy. She loved afternoon coffee on the porch after work with her husband Mark, catching up on their day. She loved spending time with her granddaughter in person and on FaceTime, taking selfies, watching Sunday football cheering on the Greenbay Packers and Buffalo Bills, and shopping at stores and online. She grew a love for spending time in the mountains frequently going on vacation with her husband and extended family.
