Cam was a great supporter and fierce rights advocate for the LGBT+ community.

Cam loved to travel with family on camping trips, which included lots of hiking in the Rocky Mountains, Northern Wisconsin, Black Hills, Badlands and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Going on hikes and walks brought her great peace of mind.
