She enjoyed going to church services on Sunday and joining her girlfriends afterward for breakfast as well as tending the weekly Senior`s Lunch. She was also a member of the Cedar Key Womans`s Club and participated in a monthly Girl`s Night Out with her friends. She had a real heart for animals and loved caring for her cats.
