She was a homemaker, and had many interests and hobbies including interior design, antique furniture, and music and dancing. She was an avid reader, a master of crossword puzzles, and highly skilled at needlepoint. She had a sharp sense of humor and wit. She had a keen eye for fashion and her love of clothing brought her much joy.
