She rode horses, kept many cats and dogs. Nothing would stop her from loving animals; not even a barking, growling dog who returned her love and attempted kisses with a smart nip on her nose, “oh that’s alright“, one of her favorite responses. She made friends with everyone and would literally move mountains to do for others. She moved with her husband to New Market TN late 2020, “I want to live by Pigeon Forge “. In her last years she enjoyed: Dolly Wood’s roller coasters and shows, Pigeons Forge’s sites, the Mountains, and Saturday nights at the New Market Fire House dancing and socializing with her friends. She is survived by her husband Joey DiPersi, her two brothers Jake Tolley and Jim Davis and his wife Jo.
