 Demi had a strong love for animals, many of which she had rescued during her lifetime. From cats to hamsters to ferrets to chinchillas, she always poured her heart into each animal she called her own. Additionally, Demi had a keen interest in hairstyling and manicuring, and had hopes of one day becoming a beautician. Her sense of humor was strong enough to make anyone laugh, even on a hard day. She was known for her infectious smile, her kind heart, and her strong love for others. Demi enjoyed being around her family and friends, never letting anyone doubt how much they meant to her.
