She loved to tease the children as Bessie babysat and scratched the skin of her siblings body. She was also known to be like Houdini. She'd say, "Look over there" and by the time you looked back at her she would be gone. Purple was her favorite color, she loved butterflies, she loved jewelry, and she loved purple hearts. She watched just about every movie that was made and she would reenact them to everyone. Her favorite actor was Jim Carey, because of how silly he acted and her favorite movie was "Shootas".
