It was love at first sight; she absolutely fell in love with the beach. Her favorite place in the world would be in nature or with her toes in the sand at the beach. She raised both her girls as Beach Babes. Her hobbies were snorkeling, swimming, floating around, walking the shore line at sunrise & sunsets, grounding, and sunbathing/tanning.

She was independent, spontaneous, unconditionally loving, caring & loyal to all her beloved family and friends. She was spiritually connected to life and the living world around her. She appreciated every animal, the musical sound the wind made, the crashing of waves surrendering to the shoreline, the glistening beauty she could see in every shining star. The intuitive connection she had with her Higher Power, she carried the love and light of our family heritage, while always giving thanks to the ancestors she came from. She was a devoted member to her community as well, managing over 50,000 different homes in Palm Beach HOA's, participating in the Jupiter Farms Volunteer SOS Emergency Fire Department Program while voicing her opinions loud and proud about conservation of our Florida local waterways & animal habitats.
