Granny always loved being with her family and capturing every moment on film. She enjoyed having adventures and traveling all over the country. She also enjoyed singing in multiple church choirs throughout the years. No matter where she was, Granny continued to be active in her family and social activities. Granny and her side-kick, Timothy, spent many hours together working cows. Granny always cooked huge meals and made sure there was plenty of food for all.
