The quintessence of a lady, she relished in flying her plane, riding her motorcycle, gardening, keeping a beautiful home, loved holidays-especially Christmas and her birthday, which she shared with her daughter, who was her self-proclaimed biggest accomplishment.
In retirement, she could be found outside with her beloved dog, Sophie, her daughter and her grandson, Dominic, who was every bit her pride and joy. She was a loving aunt, who enjoyed spending quality time with her nieces and nephews.
