She spent a majority of her free time outside in her yard, reading crime/mystery novels, and "shooting the breeze" on her back porch or on the phone with those she loved. She also enjoyed being in the kitchen, whether it was a meal for one or a Sunday dinner with family. “MommyD" was a proud supporter of her three grandchildren and their many endeavors, and most recently enjoyed spending time with her two great-granddaughters.
