Baseball and racing were her two favorite pass times. In 2018 she moved back to Portsmouth VA, to be closer to her family. She was a loving wife, mother, stepmother, sister, nana, aunt, and friend to many. She truly enjoyed all things in life. She often talked to her daughter about her love for the beach and how one day they would retire there together and live the simple life. She cherished her husband, her pup Rocky, her children and most of all her grandbabies who brought her so much joy.
