Hedy loved to garden.  She would plant tomatoes, geraniums, and petunias in red, white, and blue out front every summer.  She enjoyed driving around in her 2005 Red Mustang while listening to a blaring radio piping Bavarian music and yodeling. Hedy loved to travel with her loved ones, and she enjoyed spending time with her family.  Her most beloved traditions included:  enjoying Maryland crabs with her family and preparing German potato salad at family events. Her kind-hearted spirit always brought laughter and smiles to the family.
