She and Claude loved boating at Lake Powell and trips to Hawaii and U of U basketball. She loved going to her grandchildren's dance and music recitals or baseball and soccer games. She was always their greatest cheerleader. She loved her Swedish heritage, "giving the perfect gift", peach roses, Christmas time, "Dancing with the Stars", and long phone conversations with friends.
