She was a dedicated wife and mother to her family. She loved to make people laugh. She took after her mother with her gift of gab and her ability to stop and talk to someone she did not know. She took care of her family and loved her family more than anything. She enjoyed taking care of her garden and working out in the yard. She loved sunflowers and flamingos. She really enjoyed decorating her flower beds and being outside when she could.

She will be missed and loved by many but never forgotten. A memorial service will be planned at a later date.
