with a strong sense of responsibility and later managed the farm for many years as well.
She loved hunting deer, squirrel, rabbit, and turkey and fishing for catfish. She enjoyed swimming at home and relaxing in her hot tub. Horses, motorcycles, dirt bikes, and her 3- and 4-wheelers brought her joy, as did camping and canoeing in Lebanon and Salem.

known as “Blondie”. She had a soft spot for Siamese cats and loved country line dancing and listening to her favorite country tunes.
