She was also involved with Wesley United Methodist Church in Bloomington and the WUMC GEMS moms group participation brought her much love, comfort and joy. Tiff was an inspiration to many and was always there to listen and give advice without judgment.

She spent her last days doing crafts as she found solace when she was making things for others. She had a real love and passion decorating for her favorite holidays Christmas and Halloween. She enjoyed carving pumpkins with the kids and during Easter Tiff would have an annual egg hunt at home for the kids and decorate eggs. Tiff's true passion was for her family. Whether it was snuggling on the couch watching old movies and horror movies with Jaidyn or a trip to the resale shop, record. or coin stores, cooking or a comedy show or movie with Keaghan, snuggling, crafting or cooking with Chailoh or preparing a meal with Josh at Ormsbee Oasis and Backyard Eatery.
