This pandemic has been tough on Decker, who is a very social person.
“There have been struggles as I do love to socialize and be around people,” Decker said in an interview with the Stevens County Times. “However, I am learning how to be more adaptable. I know this isn’t a fun time for anyone. I have been fortunate enough not to have the virus.”
