She enjoyed sewing and often saw clothing in magazines or catalogs and created her own patterns. She cared for both of her parents in their last years so they could remain in their home. She collected teddy bears and liked learning about rocks. She enjoyed visiting Murfreesboro where she could dig for diamonds. She also loved to read.
