She loved her job and she loved her clients. She would work five days a week and on her way to work she pick up her client to bring in to do her hair.
She was always outgoing and tackled lots of jobs but hairdressing was her favorite. She didn't want to retire from doing hair, but sometimes your health changes things for you. So she joined her husband in the ranching business. She was very good at financing and making decisions. She got to use her creativity in building another home. She was a very talented lady, she would take on a job and get it a 100%.
She was a very loving caring mother, and to tell you the truth, she loved being out in the country. She truly looked forward to the weekend, suspending time with her kids.
