“She was her mother’s caregiver for 20 years while always helping out a friend or neighbor in need. She enjoyed social gatherings with her friends and loved weekly trips to the diner for lunch. Her past times included crossword puzzles, buying scratch-offs, games on her kindle while watching HGTV and NCIS. Daily phone calls to her son, daughter and grandkids were a highlight of her day.
