She kept a beautiful house and yard. She treated herself to gambling trips in Reno. One of the highlights of her life was a trip she took by herself, in her 60s, to the South: Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, just because she wanted to see what that part of the country was like. She was a voracious reader and crossword solver. She also made candles and tried her hand at painting. She had a beautiful sense of humor and kept it to the end (for example, mentioning in the hospital "Well, I don't have any money with me at the moment, but if I did I'd put it on the Diamondbacks.")
