For the past 25 years she got to spend a week in Ocean City with her entire extended family. She looked forward to that all year long. She cherished every moment with her family and friends. She was never found without at least 2 books at any given time. She was a dedicated member of the Red Hat Society and the Women's Club at Mirage.
