She liked working in the yard, particularly arranging and planting flower beds. She had a knack for it she claimed she got from her grandmother, Nannie Anders. She also liked going to casinos and was usually lucky. One of her most rewarding loves were dogs. She always had three of them, and was so fond of the three she leaves behind. One of her greatest reliefs after becoming ill was to lay with all her dogs, it gave her great comfort. She was a supporter of the ASPCA, Humane Society, and any
organization that would help animals.
She was diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer weeks after retirement in April 2014. From that point she and her husband spent every day together making the most of every moment. She was the strongest person her husband ever met. She never complained or asked why. She did all that was asked of her. There were many setbacks and complications along the way, but refused to admit she couldn't handle it.
