After a brief stay in San Angelo they moved to Hearne, Tx where they lived until her passing. They loved their little place in the woods. Sereta was an avid reader of romance novels and loved flowers and plants of all kinds, especially sunflowers and morning glories. Many times she and Ramsey would plant sunflowers that grew over six feet tall. She was crafty and loved making wreaths.
