Her hobbies included crochet, quilting, ceramics, shopping for antiques, and she enjoyed attending the opera with her sisters. Mom was loving, protective, and supportive; often sacrificing to ensure we were able to participate in our various activities. She loved her grandkids and gifted each one with a crocheted afghan.
