She enjoyed gardening, planting flowers, cooking and baking for her family and most of all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She didn't focus on elaborate or expensive things. She was content and satisfied with what she did have. Instead she focused on what she believed were most important in her life; family, friends and her strong faith in God.
