Devoted wife, loving mother, affectionate grandmother and great-grandmother, and faithful friend. If she wasn’t sewing an intricate blessing outfit or blanket for a new addition to her prodigious family or creating an extravagant dress for one of her beloved granddaughters or great-granddaughters, then she was selflessly baking delicious treats for everyone to enjoy or sharing her beautiful, infectious smile with a friend in need. Her angelic voice was the essence
of love and the model of wisdom. Her eyes danced with the mischievous playfulness that impeccably suited her petite size, and her unrestrained laugh aptly illustrated the love she had for life and the joy she found in being surrounded by those she loved. And oh how she was fierce! For those she held most dear and the ideals she valued, she would fight passionately. She was as beautiful as she was talented, and all she had she gave selflessly to others. The beauty she saw in life she cultivated and reflected back in her roses.
