She had a passion for cooking, canning, and was well known for her homemade bread, cinnamon rolls, and jellies.  Some of her many hobbies include collecting antiques and buttons.  She had a love for all animals and loved seeing her grandkids.  She had a big heart and would help anyone out that was in need.  She never met a stranger.
