Christmas was by far her favorite holiday and she would go all out to ensure that her family especially her children got everything they asked for and then some. She had a very giving nature and often dedicated time to helping others. She couldn’t bear to see anyone suffer and would offer help whenever she could. She loved spending time with family, playing cards with her friends, and watching her grandkids play any and all sports.
