She loved all creatures big or small. She loved feeding the birds, squirrels and stray cats that made their way into her yard along with all the dogs she had throughout the years. She enjoyed the mountains where she and Bill spent many hours camping, fishing and hunting.

After Bills death she developed a special friendship with Andy Fenner that lasted 20 years. They met at the VFW and enjoyed each other’s company going out to dinner, taking the bus to the Colorado Rockies games, going to Silver Sneakers and walking dogs at Bear Creek Park.
