Her home was always filled with warmth, including the companionship of her beloved miniature dachshunds, Rudy and Molly, and her cat, TC.

She was the deeply loved grandmother of Brittany Carr, Whitney Houston, Kahley Garcia, Michael Louie, Lindsey Schindler, Zachary Louie, Jared Williams, and Madison Williams; and the proud great-grandmother of Max, Violet, Killian, Indigo, Teylie, Julie, Ellie, Caleb, Arthur, Eli, Sophia, Vera, and Veda.
