She adored the outdoors and was a renowned markswoman in her day. She never missed those coyotes when she had her rifle handy. She had a green thumb like no other Her ability to raise african violets, peonies, and tiger lillies was unprecedented. Walks out on the countryside, allowed for teaching opportunities to each and every one of her grandchildren.
