In loving memory of a very special mother, daughter, & grandmother. She will always be in our hearts and will be missed by everyone. She spent her life sharing with her family & friends. She was constantly baking for her church family and friends. She loved her church and served in many capacities such as a children's Sunday School teacher, XYZ older church members group and organizer of Nursing Home activities. She was the first secretary of Parkview Baptist Church. Our mother enjoyed her church and enjoyed being there whenever the doors were open. In addition to church activities, she was able to travel with her son, Barry and family, to many exciting places. Her life was filled with many exciting adventures and fun memories. She also loved working in her yard and decorating her home and entertaining friends and family. We will miss her dearly but know that she is reuniting with other dear loved ones and enjoying singing with the angels in Heaven.
