The last few months while undergoing her cancer treatments she enjoyed many visits by her grandkids, great grandkids, children, and her brother Ron and Sister-in-Law Faye, sitting on the balcony watching the traffic go by and the chickens in the yard.

She has always loved living in the mountainous areas where she could watch the wildlife and enjoy growing grass and flowers in her spare time.  She loved humming birds and butterflies and the many dogs, horses, and cats that she had throughout the years.

There will be a celebration of her life at a later date, when weather is better.
