In her spare time, she enjoyed decorating her home, going to movies, puzzles, reading, listening to all kinds of music, bird watching and taking long walks in the park with her husband.

Her family and friends will always remember her as a very private, serious and loving person. She was compassionate, thoughtful, punctual, organized and had a very strong sense of responsibility.
