She enjoyed wedding cake decorating, baking, gardening, boating, fishing, traveling, reading, loving on their dogs, and with Bob she volunteered with the Coast Guard Auxiliary at Lake Lanier (especially during the 1996 Olympics on the lake), GA Lions Club, and Meals on Wheels. She also volunteered as a Girl Scout leader for several years when the girls were young. She enjoyed entertaining friends and family and was a wonderful cook.
