She was well-loved and respected, always had a funny story or a joke. She loved making her jewelry out of beads and always had something for you to take with you when you went to visit. She was keen on her dress, always matching her jewelry to her outfits, even the most exotic ones! She will be sadly missed by everyone who has ever met her or had the pleasure of knowing her.
