She spent most of her life as a cosmetologist before she received her calling to be a CNA. Giving love and care to the elderly. She had an unwavering & unconditional love for people & animals. She loved caring for others in general just because she could. She never met a stranger she didn't try to cook for or show hospitality of sorts. She never met an animal she didn't try to take home to rescue.
