In her free time, she enjoyed traveling with her husband, daughter and family, crocheting, playing Canasta, chatting, laughing and spending time with her family and holding hands with her devoted husband Carmen. The family wishes to thank the wonderful healthcare workers and staff at Baypointe Rehabilitation Center for their dignified and compassionate care.
