She was an avid country music fan. Even in her latter years, when the alzheimer's had taken over, if she heard a song she knew, she could sing every word to that song. She may not have remembered what she had for breakfast, but boy she didn't skip a word of that song! She was a strong lady with a strong will. She was a giver and had a big heart. In her latter years, her and her husband would visit nursing homes and pass out stuffed toys to the residents. She loved watching people and would often go to a mall just to sit and watch people go by. She loved chocolate. In fact, it was one of the food groups in her home!

So when her children started having grandbabies, she was more than happy to step in and help! She loved being a grandma. The more babies, the happier she was. She used to say, "I can spoil them, then give them back to mom". She always had grandchildren around. And YES she did spoil them!
