Sissy loved being outdoors. She liked fishing, hunting, and being in nature. She was active, going on bike rides, playing tennis, and going for walks. She loved her family get togethers. She was happiest surrounded family and friends. Sissy liked to sing and play guitar. She learned to play guitar, a skill she taught herself. She loved traveling and went to Ireland 10 times! Sissy loved reading nonfiction true crime, playing cards, word games, and Blackjack. When the grandkids would visit, she brought out her box of toys for them. These were the same toys that their parents played with when they were young. She encouraged her own children to appreciate the outdoors like she did. She taught her children so much about life and they will be forever grateful for her love. Sissy was spunky yet kindhearted, welcoming anyone to the home that she treasured. Sissy was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
