She served faithfully in women’s ministry and participated in numerous outreach and volunteer programs throughout her life.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to friends and loved ones for their support during this time. Her life was a testimony to her love for Jesus, and she rests peacefully in His care.
