She loved to read, walk on the beach and work in her garden. She also enjoyed volunteering as a guide at the Turkey Point Lighthouse in North East, Maryland and served as a lay reader at St. Mary Anne's Episcopal Church there. Her most cherished role however was being a grandmother and she adored her three grandchildren. She loved to have them visit her at her home and attend "Camp Grandma".
