In her free time she enjoyed tending her beautiful flower gardens, knitting, playing card games, going to bingo and the casino and, most of all, serving delicious home cooked meals to her appreciative family and friends.

Barley and wife Katie Reesor Barley, Adrian K. Hoverter and wife Crickitt of Enola, and Elena M.
