She loved having people over for dinner and cook and also enjoyed working in her flower garden. She loved all animals and carried dog and cat food in her car and fed many strays during her lifetime. She was employed just out of High School at the Federal Reserve Bank for 24 years and had several other part time jobs. She never went anywhere where she wasn't known by many. Like her father, she never met a stranger.
