Taffy loved her family deeply and was most happy spending time with her growing family.  She loved the beach and celebrating holidays.  If you knew her, you knew that she had a passion for shopping, and she loved doing it.  Her collections of purses and jeans are unmatched and vast, to say the least.  Her laugh was contagious, and her sense of humor never ceased to make those around her laugh.
