She would make regular trips with her own young family to visit relatives in Gilford, New Hampshire, Farmington, New Hampshire, and Marshfield, Massachusetts.

As her family grew, Camilla enjoyed summering in Old Orchard Beach in Maine, where she loved sitting on the quiet early morning beach and swimming in the ocean. She loved staying busy too, enjoying cooking, baking, sewing and crafts and using her natural talents to grow flowers and vegetables in her garden.

She enjoyed spending time with her friends, whether for a cup of coffee or lunch. She shared a special relationship with Buddy.
