She enjoys reading, writing, nature, and studying old family histories, saying, "There are so many fascinating stories in our past."
She aims to spread the heart health message to other women with a warning: "Don't do what I did. Know the symptoms. Know your body. And, slow down. Remember, you can't do anything if you're dead."
