She loved loved loved to write and would write about anything.  She also enjoyed watching movies, going to events for her grandchildren, going out to eat and she loved to talk-to anyone.  But she loved nothing more than her family, her children and her grandchildren.  This is where she was the happiest.  She would do anything and everything for her family, no matter what she was going through.
