In her free time, she enjoyed baking, photography, making arts and crafts, and always helping out when she could and selflessly thinking of others. She enjoyed all animals, especially her cats and cows. A few of her other favorite things included gardening, the Green Bay Packers, Eeyore, and being an active role in her niece and nephew’s lives as much as she could.
