She loved growing flowers and working outdoors and always had a beautiful yard. She was a huge country music fan and you could be sure she would have the music turned up in the kitchen as she would be making her famous homemade biscuits every morning. She and Ray loved to fish and after catching a mess they would clean them and fry them up right on the creekbank. Her potatoes and onions were the best.
