She was a jack of all trades who did what she needed to provide for her family and no one could or would ever tell her she couldn't.
Besides providing for her family, her greatest passions were gardening, fishing, and cooking. She loved to have tons of flowers and roses, cooking for the whole family and having them all together. She always made sure to ask "Did you eat? Go eat!". Tusnee truly enjoyed just the time she could spend with everyone. She will be greatly missed and forever loved.

All she would have wanted from everyone, was to be together.
