Anytime there were holidays, birthdays, or any excuse for family gatherings, you could expect to find the dining room table full of food and the house full of all her family.  She always looked forward to attending the Poole Family Reunion each year.

She was an avid Duke Blue Devil fan!  You better believe anytime Duke was playing basketball, you could find her in her recliner, decked out in all her Duke apparel, rooting them on. GO DUKE!!!!!
