She very much enjoyed music, especially the piano and loved to hear her grandson, Andrew play for her. Because of her commitment of working with those less fortunate, the family is asking for donations in honor of her memory to be made to Light the Way SC – a concert series in Columbia, SC that benefits the homeless.
