She loved bright, colorful, cheery flowers for each season. She could be very particular about how things were placed and done. She enjoyed eating out Golden Corral (which she called Coney Island), Village Inn and loved KFC.
But her most favorite food of all was Kellie Davies custard pie and Sue’s baked custard with nutmeg. This was the last thing she ate before passing at TRU Hospice in Greeley on April 11, 2018. Her heart warming and bright smile, loving generosity and ornery sense of humor will be so greatly missed by all.
