The northern California coast was among her favorite places to do these things. She loved all kinds of music and dancing was definitely one of her very favorite things to do. In recent years she was known to go retirement homes and even hospitals to Ballroom dance for the patients there. It gave her great joy to entertain them and bring a smile to their faces.
