She was a real entrepreneur who owned an advertising and PR firm for 30 years focusing on the natural health industry. She founded Matisse & Merlot Painting parties. Invented and patented the Ci-Garage. She was a published author and volunteered at many organizations.
Her two favorite passions were doting on her only child, Liana, and singing R&B/Rock with local bands. She was kind, strong, vivacious, brilliant, creative, generous, innately humorous, inspiring, optimistic, loving and nurturing with an indefatigable spirit. She touched so many people's lives and the world is now a dimmer place without her vibrant energy.
