Throughout this time, Ronda developed great friendships with these coworkers, leading to lunch dates and many visits. She loved to cook, bake, garden, and make quilts. People always commented on her excellent meals, treats, and the amazing flowers in her yard. When we saw that mom could no longer care for her flowers, our family divided up the chores to care for our mom's flowers and ensure her flower beds were beautiful and weedless. She loved to play games with her family and her grandchildren and spent hours putting puzzles together. When her health declined to keep her spirits up, she put together puzzles with dear family and friends.
