She enjoyed traveling with her family and fishing, as well as camping trips. Her hobbies were keeping her house and yard, going out to dinner, going shopping with her sister, and listening to her favorite group, the BeeGees. She enjoyed watching Gunsmoke and Golden Girls in her more recent days.

She was preceded in death by her husband, mother, father, brother, and sister.
