She was known for her kind and compassionate nature and enjoyed making others laugh with her silly antics. She would often do the hula and sing a song to make you smile.

She was an avid bowler and part of the Keyser Bowling League where she excelled and won many awards.  She also enjoyed games, puzzles, and Banangram, showcasing her amazing vocabulary and competitive spirit. A simple word would trigger a song … Oh Johnny, Mama Dear, Imagination is Funny.
