She loved riding her bike, tending to her yard and flowers, crafting, spending time with her family especially grandkids, and fishing trips with her partner of 23 years, Gary Gault.  She loved the holidays and never missed a chance to send out a birthday card.  She was tough as nails, spunky, selfless, caring, giving, compassionate and had a hilarious sense of humor
