In her years on earth she enjoyed many things including; fishing, camping, 4-wheeling, gardening, Primerica, and most of all her beloved grandbabies. She was the strongest, braves and most stubborn woman, which is why we love her. She unfortunately was diagnosed with renal cell cancer in 2002, but she fought mighty hard and beat it by removing her left kidney.
