She enjoyed Laguna Beach, trips to Mississippi to see her sister and family, and also traveled to Alaska, Florida, and home to Ohio. She enjoyed her crossword puzzles, game shows, and sports, but most especially her family and friends. She will be missed so much by everyone. We will miss you, we love you, and rest in peace with the Lord.
