Willie had many interests. She enjoyed camping and fishing in Canada. She was an avid BINGO enthusiast and liked to crochet, play cards and work on jig saw puzzles. She collected angels and teddy bears. She was a lifelong member of the Frank B. Church VFW Post 2530. Additionally, she was a huge Elvis fan but more than these, she loved her family and friends; cherishing the times spent with them.
