To complete her life, she was blessed to find love again on January 7th, 1999. She married Tommy Wilson, whom she had known since the 2nd grade. They shared their life together at their home at Cardinal Point on Lake Hudson in Oklahoma. She loved her life, adored her family, and truly never met a stranger. Life at the lake gave her the opportunity to enjoy the birds (especially her cardinals), squirrels, and the other wildlife. She often described her view as shimmering diamonds on the lake. She began each day of her life as the song goes, “Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day”! Our dear sweet “little lady” was a true treasure. Her love and laughter (oh that laughter), will live in our hearts forever. Resthaven Funeral Home & Cemetery, Lubbock, TX.
