She exemplified that in her life choices in serving others as a spouse, parent, family member and friend. Some of her favorite things to do were shopping, enjoying gatherings with family & friends, and eating at Butter Churn and Luby's. She loved to cook for her family, she especially loved it when her daughter Melissa would cook a special soup just for her and her Daughter in Law Monica would prepare Fideo & Chicken, a favorite dish she enjoyed.
