She had a great love for music and even spent many years teaching piano lessons.
She had many things she loved to do in life. She was a wonderful homemaker and loved everything about the home she and Gary have lived in for the past 55 years. She had a green thumb and greatly enjoyed plants and flowers. She always had a beautiful yard and a flourishing garden, including many fruit trees. She would spend her summers harvesting her fruits and vegetables and canning them. She would put up hundreds of jars each summer. She loved to eat healthy and exercise and would walk and go to the gym regularly. She was a great cook and baker, which her family benefitted from greatly in the delicious food she would prepare for them. She always had fresh lemonade in her fridge and was known for her zucchini bread, chocolate cake, deviled eggs, and fruit salad. And not a meal went by without an offering of diet coke! She loved watching the Utah Jazz and rarely missed a game. Above all, she found her greatest joy in life to be that of her family. She loved spending time with them and found great joy in seeing their successes in life. She especially loved all of her grandchildren.
