She loved watching her grandchildren in all of their activities; and she especially cherished the “girl time” shopping with her mother at Northpark Mall. They were known far and wide by many merchants at various malls and shopping centers!! Playing Bingo was also a favorite hobby, where she could also spend additional time with family and friends.
