She and J.W. loved to travel with family and with friends all across the United States. She loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, baking cookies, doing crafts, reading, and playing card games. She and her friends had a sewing group that met weekly and each worked on a variety of projects. She loved flowers and made arrangements for her church sanctuary. She was an accomplished seamstress, making clothes for herself and Sherry and all her grandchildren. Silk pillowcases were a favorite of the girls and were cherished to the point of even going on honeymoons!
