Whether selling wares at a flea market, fishing, or, at times, searching for lost treasure with her metal detector, she enjoyed most just being outdoors and meeting people. An avid gardener, she always had beautiful plants and flowers to enjoy in and around her home. She was a great listener who always showed interest in hearing the experiences of the people she met and sharing her own stories with them. Her greatest joy was found in being around her family and friends, especially her children and grandchildren. The Booneville Sentinel/November 7, 2024
