Family always came first. She loved her home that her husband built her and took pride in making it beautiful and she loved gardening, cooking, shopping, and spending time with her daughters and family. She loved ice cream and pizza and the color pink. She believed in giving everything all she had at work and at home, and that carried over into her battle with cancer. She taught her daughters that you had to "push" through bad days and she beat the odds many times over, withstanding treatments, surgeries, and years of "pushing" that didn't seem possible, while always smiling and showing up looking beautiful. She was the center of her daughter's worlds. The family would like to thank Dr. Peyton Taylor, Dr. Leslie Blackhall and the staff of the University of Virginia Cancer Center, and her favorite buddy Dr. Sam in Radiology, for their years of wonderful, compassionate care, and also Tracy Morris of Legacy Hospice for her loving care. Also special thanks to her long time friend Reverend Ellen Longmoore for her love and support. Thank you to Ellen for being there for Renee and Lori, and for officiating the funeral service.
