She was a loving mother to her son Corey, who in her words was her heart, and she loved spending time with him. She and her identical twin sister Carol were inseparable, and they referred to themselves as two peas in a pod. She enjoyed getting on her laptop and keeping up with family and friends on Facebook and playing games, especially having Mario Kart parties with her nieces and nephews and her son Corey. She enjoyed cooking, going to the river, fishing, playing penny machines at the casinos, and annual trips with the Six-Pack. She worked as a secretary at Fleet Tire, Memorial Hospital as a nurse’s aide, and Coast Electric as a meter reader.
