She was a member of Parkway Baptist Church and longtime member of The Order of the Eastern Star. She was a strong believer and faithful Christian woman, a devoted mother and the Matriarch of five generations.
She was an 18 year resident of the Villas of Rock Prairie where she enjoyed reading and playing card games with her many friends.
She was retired from Chase Bank in Houston where she worked in customer service. Previously she worked with classified documents for the Atomic Energy Commission in Albuquerque, NM. She worked for the Jasper County Tax Assessors Office and she managed a 400 unit apartment project in Southwest Houston.
One accomplishment she was most proud of was, she sang in a church choir for over 50 years, beginning when she was 14 years old. She will be greatly missed, but we look forward to seeing her again in the bye and bye.
