Afton loved traveling the world and sharing her stories with family and friends. She was a caretaker at heart, always caring for family and friends.

She was a beautician for many years and owned a beauty shop in her basement where she made many lifetime friends. Afton had a talent for cooking and loved to cook for others. As soon as company stepped through her door, she was ready to feed them.
