She loved to knit, crochet, do needlework, paint and make sweaters for relatives and friends. Her home was decorated with her paintings. Her husband asked her what kind of car she would like and she commented on a Cadillac. So one day he brought home a brand new Cadillac coupe, "kind of sporty looking" when asked about it, she replied "I love it". When she got married she borrowed a wedding ring from a friend and almost left the friends house with the ring. She lived a long life and will be remembered by those who knew her.
