She was a Registered Nurse that worked primarily in nursing homes around Metro Atlanta but retired in 2006.

She would commonly say, “I was put on this earth to take care of and love my babies” and she did that wonderfully. She will be remembered for her quick wit, youthful spirit, quirky sense of humor, love of nature, and the genuine kindness she showed to all. She is loved and missed by her husband Donald Mathis; her three children Laura Mathis Mulvanity (her husband Sean) of Richmond Hill, Ga; and Michael and Scott Mathis of East Cobb; her two grandchildren Katie & Mallory Mulvanity. & her sister Jacque Thompson of Cumming, Ga.
