She loved Marigolds and would plant them every year. Purple and anything tie-dye were favorite colors. She enjoyed crocheting, beading and coloring. She spent the last of her career years as the Director of Transportation for Socorro Taxi.
There will be a private family memorial at a later time, where she will finally be at rest at her ranch she shared with Moses.
