She was retired from Prince William Hospital in Manassas and was a member of Lynchburg Church of Christ. Christmas was one of her most favorite times of the year. She enjoyed making her special cakes and candies to share with the many people she loved. She also loved to quilt and through the years made dozens of handmade quilts that she joyfully gave to her family. She was a beautiful pianist and often played for her church and her church quartet. Her passion was her family. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother.
