She loved knitting, crochet and many other crafts, picking blue berries, raspberries and strawberries. Her homemade mustard and ketchup were loved by many. Mom loved to help Dad collect copper. Mom was brought up on a dairy farm in St. Charles, she always talked about milking the cows early in the morning and then going off to school until her father was unable to work the farm, Mom took over.
