She resided in Somerby Senior Independent Living Community where she made many new friends, was loved by the staff and was known for always having a smile for everyone. She was an avid reader and enjoyed most afternoons sitting and reading. She loved spending weekends with her family in Awendaw South Carolina where she would sit quietly on the back porch for hours enjoying God's wonders.
