She was a gifted student and a favorite of her classmates. She was beautiful, witty, incredibly funny, outgoing, and was a natural born leader. She was the "take control and lead" buddy you always wanted around. She also had a really cool 1969 Camaro with dark metallic brown and gold paint, tan leather interior and bucket seats, which was not only beautiful, but great to ride in. Friday night ORHS football games and slumber parties at her house was an event her buddies Lucretia, Lisa, and Vickie, always looked forward to all week.
