One of her favorite pastimes was sitting and laughing with her grandkids and great-grandkids. She could always be found crocheting or knitting afghans for everyone and with the left over yarn would crochet hats for the new babies at the hospital. Christmas was a time for cookies, she was well known for her Kieflie making which she passed down to several generations. She attended First Presbyterian Church in Niles where she was a member of Board of Deacons.
