She loved and spoiled her many pets throughout the years and would nurture any animal that visited their lake home.  She was an avid bird watcher and could identify just about any species. She enjoyed hunting and fishing with Jeff and would even paddle out to the island to set decoys and duck hunt while Jeff was away at work in her younger years.  She loved to garden and maintain her many beautiful deck planters and flower beds throughout their lake home property.  Her greatest joy was staying home to raise her children and watch them grow to  raise their own families throughout the years alongside her partner and best friend Jeffrey.
