She enjoyed spending time with her family, friends and pets. She was a dare devil and willing to experience life with fast cars, skydiving, scuba diving, and while enjoying life she was quick to make friends wherever she was and would give them the shirt off her back, she loved cooking for family and friends, entertaining her neighbors and spoiling her pets.
