She was a fond aunt and surrogate mother to many, a friend to countless, and an example of strength, hard work, and integrity to all. She faced the loss of loved ones, the loss of sight to macular degeneration, and breast cancer with resilience and fortitude. Her faith propelled her, and her family at True Gospel Baptist Church and her Pastor Rick Shoemaker were a source of love, faith, and support. Her friends and neighbors, Bobbie and Tommy Hardin, were constant friends and companions and a “second” daughter and son.
