She enjoyed working in the garden, traveling, watching Hallmark movies and old school sitcoms, photography, had a special fondness for animals, particularly dogs and horses, but was most widely known for her talent of baking delicious cakes. She had the kindest heart, and you could literally taste the love and comfort in each and every one of her bakes. She was a stranger to no one and anyone and everyone who knew her was touched by her gentle, compassionate soul.

She is survived by her sister, Kerry Way, of Summerville, SC; niece, Amanda Taylor Dowd of North Charleston, SC; and two great-nieces, Olivia Higdon of Ladson, SC and Eva Higdon of North Charleston, SC.
