These positions include a homemaker, motivational speaker, personal chef, singer, handy woman, and interior designer just to name a few.
She was an incredible, loving, resourceful, and organized woman.

She created memories with her family through cooking dinners together;  Thanksgiving and Christmas often being the most memorable, engaging in thought-provoking conversations on a multitude of subjects, and gracing the ears of her family members with her beautiful singing voice to mention a few.
