She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a fantastic home maker, and a true friend to all that knew her.

She was known by all as "the sweetest woman you will ever meet." She was kind to everyone, always greeting them with a smile, and genuinely wanted to know how they were doing, including their families. She was generous to a fault, and took great joy in surprising her family and friends with gifts. She had a special place in her heart for "the children of the world," regularly making donations to organizations such as Operation Smile, Doctors Without Borders, Feed the Children and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Funeral services will be held at 3pm on Monday, December 2, 2013 in the mausoleum chapel of Memorial Oaks Cemetery, 1300 Katy Freeway, Houston, Texas.
