She played cards weekly (Pinochle and Shanghai Rummy). Mom resided at Heirloom Inn in Price the last four years where she played Shanghai Rummy with other residents almost daily and played Bingo three days a week after lunch. While living at home, mom took great pride in her yard, flowers and roses. Mom loved trips to Flaming Gorge, camping and boating with her family. Mom also enjoyed trips to California, Arizona, and Maine to visit her daughter and son-in-law. Mom enjoyed golf and bowled many years on leagues, mixed doubles, and traveled to other areas to bowl with her league. Mom enjoyed picking vegetables that they planted and was a member of the Country Club and Good Sam’s Club.
