around her family, and her love of horses and dogs. Mona was active
at a young age with her horses, and developed a love for competing in
barrel racing. She and Robert introduced their children and
grandchildren to the rodeo life. Mona was that special "rodeo
mom." Being active in the rodeos she was able to travel
frequently with Robert and their kids.
