Sierra was an artist, whether that was doing hair, drawing, singing, playing the piano or bassoon she enjoyed it all. She passed down her love of music to her kids as well.  Her daughters had fond memories of her sketches, especially her horse sketches she had done in her younger years.  You could find Sierra hunkering down at times to watch Game of Thrones or Harry Potter. Her love of these series was evident in her many tattoos dedicated to them.
