She enjoyed many trips to Scottsdale, Arizona, San Diego, California, Klamath Falls, Oregon and Virginia Beach, Virginia, and was an avid fan of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as well as the Cleveland Indians.
She enjoyed crocheting blankets for her children and grandchildren. Nothing pleased her more than to be around her family, especially her grandchildren, cooking Sunday dinners, and baking, mostly her famous nut rolls, specialty cakes and cookies. Much of her enjoyment was playing cards, making costumes for her grandchildren and spending time with her friends. She took great pride in her Polish heritage and embraced the Irish heritage when she married her husband.
