Felicia absolutely LOVED the beach, and spent many days at Panama City Beach, FL. She was also passionate about painting, creating pottery, antique shopping and knitting. Felicia and her friends at Covenant Woods knitted blankets and hats for the preemie babies in the local hospitals. She loved working crossword puzzles and reading murder mysteries. Her favorite color was purple and her favorite flowers were purple iris’. She also loved collecting pink flamingos and sea turtles.
