Easter was saved at an early age and continued a life that reflected her faith in Christ. She enjoyed church services at Wolfenbarger Chapel. Easter was a devoted mother and loved more than anything being a nana to her grandbabies. Eve spent her life caring for others as an in-home care giver and took great pride in that. She enjoyed cooking and canning, sewing and quilting, gardening, and her beloved milk cow Betsie.
