Everyone who knew her, loved her. Known for her infectious smile, her kind heart, her positivity, her adventuresome spirit, her affection for all animals especially cats, her collection of pigs, and her love of karaoke and camping. Misty was everyone’s friend.
Forever the crafter, she was always coming up with making new creations and sharing with all. Her most famous of crafts are her crochet crazy curl hats, not only did everyone in her circle wear them, she made dozens and would distribute them to patients on her chemo treatment days.
