Following her retirement, she moved with Aaron to Las Vegas. Lacolia enjoyed bowling, card games, dominos and crossword puzzles. She was a devoted mother and grandmother. Family was the most important part of her life. She dedicated her life to raising two of her grandchildren while influencing generations to come.
