She was deeply rooted in the Catholic faith and, for the love of music, cherished and celebrated life. There was always music in the home along with dancing. She loved working around the house, painting, wallpapering, and woodworking. Her brother would make beautiful Chia Cabinets and she would stain them, she was very hands-on and liked to try new things, and did not want to miss out on anything. She will be missed so when you think of her. I hope you have wonderful memories and cherish them.
