She loved to quilt, shop and go anywhere that had slot machines to play and strawberry daiquiris to drink.

But what she loved most of all was her family, especially spoiling her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  She loved it so much she thought it was her duty to teach each of her children the art of spoiling grandchildren.   We often told her she taught us well.

The family would like to thank her wonderful BSWH Hospice care providers and her Home Instead caregivers.
