Nothing excited her more than the mornings there would be a jubilee, and she was documented as seeing flounder, shrimp, eels, stingrays, crabs, and even turtles come to shore during jubilees throughout the years. How fitting in the days leading up to and morning of her death, there were documented jubilees in Point Clear. She will be remembered for her infectious laughter, her giving heart, and her love of the Bay.
