She worked as an administrative assistant for Dr. Dan Hilo for many years. In her free time, she enjoyed baking breads and cookies, traveling to Florida and Hawaii, and decorating their home for the Holidays, especially Thanksgiving, where she was always the host. More than anything, the light of her life was being a mom. She loved her daughter more than life itself.
