If you knew her, you'd know she loved building legos. She had them displayed all thru out the house and before that she collected lighthouses. She also loved watching TV, especially poker and black jack which she played at times. She also loved her cat named cocoa. She was also known to be very loud, you'd could hear her thru out the house and so much more. She was a loving, caring person with a kind soul. She would do anything for her close loved ones if she could. She was always giving. She leaves behind a very big void for her family, especially her kids, husband and siblings.
The family plans on doing a celebration of her life, sometime around her birthday. So it has not been determined just yet. But everyone will be told when decided.
She will be truly missed and loved for a very long time to come. May she RIP
