She was one of six children and she was extremely close to her sisters and brothers to her whole family because family was one of the most important things to her.

She was a huge bronco fan, she enjoyed coloring and teaching her kids, grand kids, nieces, and nephews arts, crafts, and anything related to school as well. She loved decorating especially for the holidays, if you would drive by her house no matter what holiday it was it was always full of decorations and lights she even won the City of La Junta Christmas Light display contest one year. She loved cruising around town, going out to the lake, or just going anywhere. Her last long ride was with her daughter Erica from Pueblo when Erica bought her new car. She had a nice kickback area in the back all decorated with her bronco stuff, art from her grand kids, and toys full of toys. Family and friends would always stop by around 4:20 to visit with her and share some laughs, talks, a Dr. Pepper or even to watch Love and Hip Hop her favorite show. She also loved to swim that was her favorite when she didn't go to the lake she would buy a huge swimming pool and watch all the kids swim even get in it herself.
