She loved to play street hockey with the boys in her teenage years. She enjoyed reading, movies, swimming and watching hockey games. Her favourite team was Boston Bruins and idol, Bobby Orr.
She enjoyed her trips to Florida with her mother to visit her uncle and aunt and their trips around Cape Breton. Iona was a favourite stop for her.
