She enjoyed crocheting and camping. For many years she was the happiest camping whether at Knoebels or at her seasonal camp site at Pine Cradle Lake. She was also big into fitness and exercising with Silver Sneakers. However her greatest joy was spending time with her family. She supported all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren in all of their scholastic and athletic events.
