In her later days, she would sit, listen to, and enjoy the music that she loved, danced and sang to throughout her life. Tennis also was an important part her life, as she was an avid tennis player, in fact, she could call a ball out from anywhere on the tennis court! She was able to combine her love for the tennis with special time with friends and fund-raising. She loved to travel and enjoyed visiting synagogues in other countries. She was dedicated to helping those in need. She was very involved in the Lambs Farm where her daughter Wynn resides, teaching sign language to residents at the Lambs while also responsible for raising over 2 million dollars with the annual Tennis Ball Fund Raiser.
