Besides daylily gardening, flower arranging, playing bridge, shopping, antiquing, bird watching, dancing, and cooking, she especially enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her favorite place to gather with family was on trips to the ocean particularly to Bethany Beach, DE and Virginia Beach, VA. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Annandale, VA.
