An avid reader, Taffy loved a good mystery and reading books to her grandchildren. She became quite the world traveler, taking trips to Israel, England, Ireland, Italy, as well as many national parks, in a goal to reach all 50 states. Bruce and Sue were her faithful traveling companions. Taffy spent many hours in the YMCA pool with her mermaid friends and volunteered her time and energy at A Caring Place. She very much enjoyed walks in nature, sewing, baking cookies, doing puzzles, playing cards, talking on the phone and spending time with family whenever she could.
