She enjoyed the outdoors, tending to her home garden, spending time in the mountains, rescuing and caring for homeless pets, collecting antiques, and working on restoring the family home, which was originally built in 1842. But most of all she loved spending time with family and friends.
She was full of love and life and will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
