Recently she relocated to Las Cruces to be with her daughters. She was excited about the news of the expected birth of her first grandchild. Misty was full of life. She was known for her “Big Hair” and her “Big Laugh”. She had a “Loud and Fun” personality! Wherever she was she would light the room with her beautiful smile. Misty was a prankster and loved making others laugh. She loved her beautiful daughters and the time she spent with them. Her life revolved around their happiness.
Misty loved and had a close relationship with her mom and dad, and they adored her. She loved her family and had fun with her sister, brother and all her nieces and nephews. She was known as the “Crazy Auntie” and proud of it. Misty had a passion for music especially Country Western and Christian music. She wanted to learn to play the guitar.
