She remembered, "I took my children fishing often and loved every minute of their lives, even if they didn't catch any fish." She enjoyed traveling in their motor home with David, her husband of 34 years, discovering the wonders of the road. Often, their destinations were determined by local farmers' markets and the availability of fresh seafood.
