She enjoyed crocheting, knitting and always had a project going. She especially enjoyed going to garage sales or auctions and collecting cookbooks. Her family enjoyed many Sunday dinners with a new recipe and a recipe could never be tweaked. She never missed her grandchildren's school activities and in later years she enjoyed listening to Lamar Tiger games on her radio.
