In speaking of her, family members always remarked on two things:
1) She loved bananas! When visiting they frequently brought her bananas instead of other gifts or candies or flowers. Once given them, she would take them in another room to hide them so she would not have to share them should her guests stay long.
2)She enjoyed shocking people by telling "dirty" jokes and was said to "curse like a sailor".
