Beloved mother, grandmother, wife, friend, master gardener, expert seamstress and baker extraordinaire.
Upon entering the Indiana State Fair the first time, she took home the coveted blue ribbon champion for the All â€" American Apple Pie and two blue ribbons for her seamstress entries, merely adding an award and title to what we already knew- she was the best at everything she did.
Her greatest gift, however, was her boundless and selfless capacity to love â€" A love so strong it will burn eternal in our hearts.
