In addition to cross stitch and crossword puzzles, she was a wizard with houseplants. In the early years of marriage, she enjoyed traveling and considered Portugal her most favorite trip. In her middle years, she worked at a local Hallmark retail store which fulfilled her greatly socializing with co-workers and customers, while being surrounded by all the collectibles that she was very fond of.  She loved her weekly visits to her hair salon and then doing some shopping, these were among her favorite days.
