She loved spending time at ballgames, cheer competitions, plays, gymnastic meets, and dance recitals of all her grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She loved storytelling, writing, hiking in the mountains and gathering bluebells, cheering for her TN Vols, gardening, crafting, hosting large family gatherings and trying out new recipes for her family.
