Will was a devoted and loving person especially to her grandchildren. Will loved spending time with her family from holidays to going out to eat. She also adored her animals and taking care of them as well. Will was known to like shopping, and you could always be sure there was a box on the front porch from QVC and you could find her eating one of her favorite treats, a York Peppermint Patty.
