The only thing she enjoyed more was sharing her special treats with her family and friends. Her door was always open and her coffee pot always on. She liked collecting ash trays and teddy bears. She had one favorite stuffed bear named "Miss Bitty." Her kind nature showed through with her love of animals, especially skunks.
