Her hobbies included traveling, acting, painting, bible study, reading, and watching her favorite sports teams, the OSU Cowboys and Dallas Cowboys.

She was a member of Anchor Fellowship Church in Granbury and very active in her community at DeCordova Bend.
She will be remembered for her fierce and loyal love to friends and family, sense of humor, strong faith, and positivity. T-Pot was a shining light to all who knew her, she brought warmth and laughter to every room she entered. She had an infectious humor that could lighten any moment.
