She valued her friendships, including an extensive network of Internet friends. She enjoyed passing the time by window shopping, emailing friends and family while sipping on a cappuccino, listening to music, and watching old television shows. She also loved going on cruises and had the privilege of sharing a few of her early ones with her mother a few years back. She was a member of the St. Marys Episcopal Church. She is survived by her sister, Jeryl, and her husband, Allen Stafford, Casper, Wyoming; a nephew, a niece and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
