She enjoyed traveling, especially her trip to Las Vegas with her friends and her Reno road trip. Getting to go to Europe with Charlene, and traveling with her daughters, sister, and granddaughters were definitely the highlights of her travels. She loved to do crafts, have coffee with the girls, and play cards; especially pinochle, pitch, and tripoli.
