She was providing compassionate care for her mother until she herself became too ill to continue. She was an avid Texas Tech fan especially her Lady Raiders and enjoyed the times her Lady Raiders would defeat the Longhorns.

Her biggest moment was when Candace became a Red Raider.She enjoyed owning her own business as a cookie distributor and loved meeting people.
