Her hobby of making floral arrangements for every family occasion whether it be for a wedding, or baby shower was one of her true passions. Her love of reading, the importance of having a good education and always attending church every Sunday were top priorities to her. She always reminded her family and friends of how important it was to have God in their lives by examples she gave in demonstrating her faith.
