Her hobbies and interests included cooking, entertaining, and caregiving, always maintaining a spotless environment while also enjoying some fun playing slot machines while blowing off steam. Her favorite family memories were the holidays, family gatherings, and traveling to visit relatives. The greatest life lessons she learned involved a rock-solid work ethic; she would wake up at 3 a.m. every morning to clean, cook, get ready for work, and ensure the kids were fed. She also had a fondness for her hair and makeup. She treasured her accomplishments in raising children and loving her grandchildren. Additionally, she played junior high basketball and was dedicated to being a loving wife.
