Mom loved life! She enjoyed being surrounded by family and friends. A very generous spirit who saw good in all. Mom liked reading mystery novels, playing bingo, and working on puzzles. She enjoyed travelling for a multitude of reasons – visiting children, taking cruises to the Caribbean and an occasional visit to the casino.
