  She had a gift for creating with her hands. She enjoyed quilting, sewing, and cross-stitching for her family, stitching together keepsakes that will remain lasting reminders of her care. She also loved bird watching and gardening. If you were looking for her, you would most often find her in the kitchen, where she took pride in feeding and caring for those she loved.
