Often looking up birds, plants, and even bugs when she wasn't quiet sure what kind they were. Always keeping an eye out for local wild life wherever she was whether it was just in the backyard or out and about. She was a longtime member of St. Dominic’s Church being an extremely genuine, kind, caring, loving and giving person. Always thinking of others before herself. Her family never escaped her mind.
