She had an outgoing personality, a kind heart and was a selfless servant to others. She often took food to the sick or homebound and will be remembered for her love and generosity to others. She enjoyed singing and loved to spend time with her family, daughter and son-in-law, especially her grandchildren.

She is survived by her daughter, Judy Maxey (James) Rutledge of Pffafftown; grandchildren, Angela Stokes of Germanton and Joseph (Wendy) Mickle of King; great grandchildren, Jeffery Allen Tuttle, Dominic Mickle, and Brandon Stokes; and great-great grandson, Levi James Tuttle.
