She was always ready and eager to give a helping hand to anyone who needed it, including letting people stay in her home when they had no home of their own, even in times when she was struggling herself. She enjoyed cooking, gardening, her family, friends, fishing and watching a good movie with a bowl of popcorn. She had a fabulous memory and could recite a book or a movie word for word years after reading it or seeing it.
