Even though she suffered with health problems for most of her life, she never let it stop her from doing the things she loved. Her last Christmas she spent cleaning quail and rabbits with her grand-kids. She loved to tell stories about taking her kids to Red River and going fishing with them. Whether it was fishing, camping, cooking or hunting, she didn't care as long as they were together. She also had a great love for reading, music, Elvis, and motorcycles. Her kids would say you could tell her mood by what song she had playing. She took part in many biker miniseries and Christian biker runs right up until her passing.
