Her son and daughter wrote of her: “Mom was the most kind, generous, loving mother we could ever ask for. She spoiled us something terrible, kept us dressed to the nines and stood up for us always. She loved babies and would babysit for anyone just for the opportunity to shower her love on the little ones. She was as stubborn as they come and loved a good argument every now and then. Mom was loyal to a fault and we loved her beyond expression. She has played such a wonderful role in our lives and we miss something awful.”
