• Some of the things she enjoyed and loved: 
• She was a die-hard Utah Jazz fan. 
• She enjoyed going to watch movies at the theater and watching her husband and son train/race their racehorses. 
• Most of all, she loved the time spent with her grandchildren; they were one of the best things in her life. She always made sure they felt  loved and special, and vice versa.
