She was blessed to play the piano. She could play any song requested on the spot, as she had the gift of playing by ear if she so desired. Countless young people learned to play the piano over the many years from the hands of her skilled teaching.

She enjoyed camping with her family from an early age, and when autumn arrived, she would always be found driving through the mountains enjoying the changing of the seasons.

As her seasons changed in her later years, she experienced great joy and contentment in feeding the many various birds and wildlife that found their way into her yard.
