She also loved her time spent tending to her vast garden, and sitting on her deck enjoying the outdoors. She also enjoyed traveling, and weekend trips to the casino with family and friends. Above all her greatest enjoyment was the time she spent with her friends and family. She was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, partner, and friend to many; she will be greatly missed.
