She was adored by all who met her and beloved by her family. She was known for her magic touch with babies as there was no crying baby that she could not soothe. She was affectionately called the "engineer" by her family because she possessed quite a knack for creating and designing almost anything. She was the DIY Queen and was a master at sewing, crocheting, gardening, cake decorating, event planning and so much more.
