She shared her talent of spinning and knitting with her special niece, Kelly Miller, and they attended many sheep and wool festivals and events together.

She was a huge fan of Elvis Presley and Rush Limbaugh. She loved America and was very proud of her conservative values. Some of her favorite sayings were “Eat Lamb & Wear Wool”, “God Bless America” and “Vote Republican to Save our Country.”
