She was a professional seamstress and an expert in the art of quilting. Her quilts have been bought by people from all walks of life and from all over the United States. Her hobbies included fishing, hunting, traveling, and bowling. She won many awards at tournaments she entered. Having a very competitive nature, one of her passions was playing the game of Bourre' with her friends and family. She enjoyed hosting parties, gatherings for family and friends, and many a cochon de lait at their home. She was baptized at Mater Dolorosa Catholic Church on 8/11/1923 where she and Lester were lifelong members and she was an active member of the Altar Society.
