Mom had a lot of hobbies like knitting, crocheting, sewing, puzzling and many more. She also loved it when her children came home, and she could feed them. Playing games was also something she looked forward to. She used to play Skip-Bo with Dad and their pet dog Rambo.

Mom was baptized upon the confession of her faith at an early age in South America in the Chortitzer Church.
