Toy, as she was affectionately called by her family, loved ones, and close friends, enjoyed playing basketball and fast pitch softball in her youth.  Those who played basketball with her, referred to her as “Shaq Diesel” because of her aggressive play and dominance on the court.  She was one tough cookie in the paint.  Toy’s hobbies and pastimes included watching movies, shopping, listening to music and spending time with her family and friends.  She was a proud and loving Aunt and was absolutely adored by her nieces and nephews who affectionately called her Aunt TT.
