CJ spent much of her childhood in Bowling Green.

She was a devoted wife and loving, caring mother, who was passionate about her pets, politics, spending time in nature, mushroom hunting, gardening, and listening to rock and roll. She was a very giving person, loved spending time on the front porch with her husband and friends, cherished her grandchildren, and could always make you laugh.
