She loved sharing laughter with family and friends, playing cards, and enjoying music by The Beatles, Def Leppard, Red Hot Chili Peppers (to name a few). She was fond of hosting parties at her home in West Bend, for occasions like the Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo (where guests would enjoy her hand-made enchiladas).
