She had a passion for gardening which won her many awards for her beautiful flowers at the Harford Fair. She found joy in hatching and releasing Monarch butterflies and had released hundreds throughout the years. Playing games, doing puzzles, and watching game shows with her beloved cat, Miss Kitty, in her lap were among some of her favorite pastimes. She took pleasure in spending warm-weather weekends hunting for unique finds at local yard sales and auctions with her friends. She had a vibrant social life with a close-knit circle of friends who regularly enjoyed group outings, bus trips, and meeting up for meals. She found her greatest joy in spending time and making memories with her loved ones.
