She loved her family dearly, and especially cherished spending time with her grandsons, Casen and Kammy as well as talking on the phone with her grandson, Chance. She was Casen’s number one fan at the ballpark. She enjoyed shopping, getting her hair done, and tanning (thanks Gerry Jo!). She liked going to church and riding in the golf cart with Steve and their dog, Spud. She was full of life and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
