She volunteered at Coffman Nursing Home helping with bingo. She enjoyed aerobics at HCC until she was 75. She and her cousin and travel companion Kathy Brashears took every opportunity to hop on a bus to Myrtle Beach, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Cape Cod; however, she was sure to never miss a single sporting event of her grandson, Ryan.

She is survived by her two sons, Brian Crabtree and wife, Carol and Steven Crabtree and wife, Emily; grandson, Ryan Crabtree and wife, Miranda and great-grandson, Ryker Ardel Crabtree.
