She loved bowling, baseball, camping and of course the Packers. She was a big Packer fan. She did a lot of canvas needle point and gave them away as gifts to everyone she could. She did a lot of reading, drawing and making potholders on a potholder loom. Most of all, she loved Jesus and was very very excited going to church and singing praises to God.
