As a child her favorite past time was to capture caterpillars and put them in a glass jar. She loved to feed them and watch the caterpillars’ metamorphosis. Excitedly, she’d release the butterflies to new found freedom. Being an animal lover throughout her life, Ednaclaire had 3 dogs; Freckles, Cinnamon Toast (CT), and Sugar Babe. She loved Butterflies the most.
Being the youngest, she was clever. She would razz her nurses and caretakers with witty responses making them laugh. Everyone whose path she crossed adored her. Kindness was her trademark. Playing bingo was the activity she enjoyed the most.
