She was a loving mother, grandmother, wife, daughter, sister, and a friend to many.
She will always be remembered for all her laughter, cheating at Rook, shopping skills, and unwavering kindness and support to all who knew her.
She loved to sing “Delta Dawn” and somehow, she always had ANY item you needed.
She worked in various positions as a manager, and was also a very loyal employee and hard worker.
She will be forever missed by her family.
She was the foundation, the protector, and always a beacon of hope.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, gives us comfort in knowing, we will be together again.
