She was a member of the Oxford First Responders, coached cheerleading for Clear Creek Schools, was chapter president of IDF (Immune Deficiency Foundation), was a foster mother, played softball, and enjoyed camping; but most of all, she loved her family and everything she could do with them.

Her family includes her mom and best friend, Sandy; daughter, Jazmine Hora at home; siblings, Becci Potter (Gary) of Amana, George Hora Jr. (Edith) of Iowa City, and Mark Hora (Kim) of Oxford; ten nieces and nephews, Breanne, Maddi, and Amber Potter, Jessica, Jessey, and Christine Hora, Beth, Mark Jr., Tim, and Bob Hora; two great-nephews, Chase and Chane Hora; special aunts, Beverly Rickels of Lost Nation, Dorathy Hora of Tipton, and Cathy Fisher of Iowa City; and of course her faithful companions, Scooby and Precious.
