She worked for years to get her degree in Horticulture and had a lifelong passion for Flowers and plants. Her home and gardens were the envy of many of her neighbors. They would stop by and ask her about her plants, and she would educate and ask them if they would like to dig up a plant to take home and plant in their yard. She moved all her plants when her and her husband Jack moved to Holly Lake Ranch. They fought off the deer at the Ranch. They tried everything that was available to keep the Deer out of her flower beds. Her Daughter Donna and Cindy would come over and work in her Flower Beds as she was unable to do it herself as she went through several medical issues. She enjoyed going to the family Farm with her family camping and riding 4 wheelers. She spent more time on the four wheelers than anyone else and was proud of the scratches and cuts she received being a dare devil. She enjoyed fishing with her family from the beginning to the end. She leaves behind many friends and Special Neighbors That went out of the way to check on her every day Mita, Ed, Patti, Anne, and Lil.
