May had a deep love for nature and found great solace in gardening. Her garden was a testament to her nurturing spirit and was admired by all who visited. She also had a profound passion for music, spending countless hours singing, playing the piano, and dancing. Her melodious voice and graceful movements were a source of joy to her family and friends along with her beloved Springer Spaniel Tia.
