Erlene was the heart and soul of her family! She brought so much joy and light into this world and every single person that she met! She was everything good and pure in this world. She had the most positive and uplifting spirit, along with a laugh that made you smile anytime you heard it. She had the most kind and beautiful heart, and she put everyone else in her life above herself. She made sure her loved ones were always being taken care of and always knew how much she loved them. Her family meant everything to her, they were her inspiration and her strength. She loved to sing and dance, especially when listening to country music or some bluegrass! She loved gardening and working outside in her yard. She loved animals! She was known as the animal whisperer because there wasn’t a single animal that didn’t love her. She also loved cooking amazing home cooked meals for her family, especially around the holiday time. She loved Jesus, and she taught his love by who she was and how she lived!
