Waco was primarily a homemaker, and also worked driving cars for Dave Walter Auto, and worked for AAA, in Wadsworth.   She drove a car until a little over a year ago.  She looked forward to trips to visit her grandchildren.

She lovingly babysat her great grandchildren;  and she and Ray took the grandchildren on a camping trip out west when the grandchildren were young. She enjoyed looking for deer in Silvercreek Park on her drives back-and-forth to visit Jeff and Sharel, enjoyed camping with her husband Ray, when her children were young, and later with her daughter Sharan and families.

She liked going for rides with her sister Betty and other family members to the Amish country, the store on Acme Hill where she could get cheese & vegetables. She also took many trips to the Outer Banks, with family, over many, many years staying in Buxton, N.C., primarily cooking the fish caught that day or cooking up a delicious meal. She often spoke of having meals ready at a precise time when Ray worked so they could all eat together. She enjoyed sharing Holiday dinners in her home, for years until the families grew too large. She planned and cooked complete meals up until late summer of this year.
