She could always be found with her daily extra-large Dunkin Donuts hot regular coffee, whether at home, checking out area lighthouses, or relaxing at her favorite spot on Nantasket Beach. She enjoyed her quiet time as well, catching up on Lifetime Network movies and the Walking Dead TV show, however quiet time was over on Autumn Sundays, as she could be found cheering in the living room for her beloved New England Patriots.
