Singing in The Joyful Sounds women’s music group brought her much joy. Their album not only displayed her musical gift but also her love for the Lord. She enjoyed sewing for her sons and grandchildren. She wore her bright, bold and often embellished clothing style well. Dirt bike riding allowed her to enjoy outdoor adventures with her family. Travel was a beloved pastime; she and Abe kept the trailer ready for a road trip and were blessed to travel abroad over the years.
