Family and friends were the very foundation of her life. She never  passed the opportunity to be around people and just talk about old times and make people laugh. She enjoyed dancing, doing crossword puzzles, reading the Bible, spending time with family, helping others in need, eating and cooking good soul food and seafood (Especially Crabs and Shrimp) , Traveling, and Watching TV (Old Cowboy Movies, The Heat of the Night, Charmed Ones) She loved all holidays and decorating her house according to the seasons. Whenever,  she wasn't socializing with people you would most likely see her at the casino trying to hit the jackpot. (LOL) So, all who knew her be blessed by her life reminisce on the memories you have of her for she loved everyone. Her life and memories will NEVER be forgotten and will always be in our heart.
