She liked caring for plants and feeding the birds. She was a great fan of the Bills, Sabres, and Yankees and enjoyed her Tai Chi friends.

She was able to travel to Europe, Jamaica, Cancun, California, and Vermont. She enjoyed many concerts, good movies, sporting events, cooking, and time with family and friends. Her great passion was duplicate bridge. A fine player in her own right, she directed many tournaments in places like Olean, Bradford, and Hornell, and really enjoyed her many b ridge friends.
