By her having ties with the Blackfoot indian tribe she loved nature and animals of all kinds. But her passion was her motorcycle. you would catch he getting ready for a long ride with a gleam in her eye and a smile on her face. Her favorite saying was " Nothing feels better than the wind in you face and its just you and the open road". You would see her ofter rideing along side her daughter Peggy Jean with a dog in the side car. Torchie Had a marvelous way with plants We used to say she has two green thumbs, She could grow anything anywhere. She enjoyed life to the fulliest that was filled with joy and Unconditional love.
