She was a Medical Transcriptionist for 21 years until she was forced to retire due to her health reasons. She lived a beautiful life and lived every moment to the fullest. She travelled and saw the world with close friends and family. In her later years she loved going to farmers markets with her sisters and niece, going for walks in the woods during the fall when the leaves were gorgeous colors, loved to collect rocks and taking lots of pictures. She loved taking drives down the back roads with her sister just looking at the scenery, she loved family dinners, walks through the woods and listening to her books on tape, and just spending time with her family and many dear friends. She loved spending time with her nieces and nephews that she loved as if they were her own. She also adored her best friend, her sweet kitten Sweetie Petie. He was always there for her and gave her so much love and companionship. She was a sweet, caring and beautiful soul that helped anyone she could in anyway and she will be deeply missed by all that knew her.
