She loved to spend time with her family. Loved her weekly visits from her daughter and grandchildren. She loved shopping, she had every color in all her favorite shirts and shoes. Cheesy novela's
She loved any kind of asian food. Yellow curry and fried rice, Korean BBQ, Benihana's, Mexican food, chile rellenos and bean burritos.
She had and eclectic taste in music but you could always count on her to jam out to some Akon in the car.
She was born in Vallejo, CA but was adopted and grew up in Chico, CA and spent time as a child in Florida.
Spending time with her family.
Wherever her family was.
She had the most generous heart. Always willing to help someone in need. She was always looking for the good in people.
