Hobbies Bev enjoyed included; crafting, golfing, socializing, entertaining friends, and family and being a part of the “Red Hatters.”  She especially loved spending lots of time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In fact, her family might say her hobby was making their requested favorite foods which included; Special K bars, cucumbers, veggie pizza, spinach dip, banana cake and apple pie.
