Her love for basketball showed on the court. Avery was a member of the Hesper Helpers 4-H club and enjoyed showing pigs at the Winneshiek County Fair. Avery had the honor of being the Mabel-Hesper Steam Engine Queen and had the chance of working with and meeting many wonderful people. Avery also loved working as a CNA at Green Lea Manor.
