She had a love of painting and photography (which she shared with her sister Brittany, a talent neither received from their parents!) Prior to her death she started a new hobby…”People Watching” with the new high-powered binoculars she received from her mom that allowed her to be “nosy” from her chair by the “big window” in her bedroom. Much laughter could be heard as she “spied” with delight on her kids and nephew playing below...or neighbors acting suspiciously from across the yard...to the birds perched in trees as far as she could see! Courtney dabbled in everything. She was an aspiring Author (she wrote a fabulous short story that she one day wanted published!). Courtney was a proud Huron River Rats Athlete. Courtney awoke one day much to her mother’s shock and announced “I am going to run track.” Well not only did she run track...she ran in track meets and became one of the fastest “sprinters” on her track team!

She was an avid shopper, according to her husband Jimmy. Barnes and Noble along with Amazon earning top honors in her joy of spending! All with Jimmy’s financial support!!!!
