She was a woman of many talents. She was always working on something in her earlier years; she loved doing ceramics. She became very passionate about our families genealogy and history and in recording our history with photos, rewards, newspaper clipping etc. All of her family members have multiple photo albums filled with their life.
Of course one of her favorite things to do was to go fishing with her husband Toby. She especially liked bass fishing. She loved to travel and she and Toby went on many trips. One of their favorite annual trips was going to Las Vegas during the time of the National Rodeo Finals.
