Dusty was considered a great cook by her friends and family. She always cooked and hosted family meals around the holidays. She enjoyed sewing and making dresses for her children when they were younger, gardening and taking care of her many rose bushes. Wednesday nights were a special time for her and the family, that’s when they would gather around the tv to watch the show Yellowstone. She was a member of the Macon County Historical Society and enjoyed genealogy. Dusty had many talents and interests, but above all she enjoyed spending time with her family and friends and will be missed by all those who knew her and loved her.
