She loved to travel on motorcycle rides to view various lighthouses. When they were not on the road, she enjoyed maintaining her flowerbeds and gardening with her children and grandchildren; they meant the world to her.

She was a bright spark in the world and will be deeply missed by many. She was one of a kind and to be loved by her was to be truly blessed; she is forever in our hearts.
