orchids from her parents who were florists in Cincinnati. She is an avid gardener and orchid grower. She and her husband are members of various societies including Greater Cincinnati Orchid Society, Miami Valley Orchid Society, Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens, the Nature Conservatory, Lloyds Library and Ohio Natural Areas and Preserves Association.
