From the deepest depths to the highest heights, Mom had amazing qualities that defined her as a remarkably beautiful person.
Mom loved family, church family, neighbors, and children. When she met new people, they were instantly her friends. She was always welcoming, available to listen, attentive, caring, calming, encouraging, supportive, understanding, and a faithful, devoted Christian. She gave of her time and resources unselfishly, was full of grace, forgiving, humble, and shared her knowledge. Her  qualities left a positive impact on all the lives she touched.
Mom enjoyed life. She was competitive in scrabble and always  watched Jeopardy. She read both educational and leisurely magazines. She fed the visiting squirrels daily and loved her pet birds, found healthy recipes, wore stylish hats and jewelry, and supported charitable organizations such as The World Wildlife Foundation, Ninos de Mexico, and Global Frontier Missions. Her personality was youthful, free, and brave, and she enjoyed hearing her pastor. She was a night owl, and very independent with a good memory. With all that said, she was also a very peaceful, quiet person.
Mom was diagnosed with MS, but was strong. She had a brilliant mind. She once wrote an illustrated ABC book with scripture on her computer to give to children, and she attended college online. She invented ways to make things work for her, and was able to maintain a sense of renewal through her gardening. Her garden gave her a way to be active through watering and clipping, and she enjoyed the rewarding results. The garden was always changing and growing more beautiful over time, and she looked like she was in paradise when she sat outside in her favorite place to be. Mom was determined to do things correctly and make things better, and there was no such thing as impossible.
What a blessing to have such an amazing Mother who will always be missed and remembered by everyone, until we see each other in Heaven.
Love, Beverly Bennett

My mother was a beautiful person inside and out. Her achievements were truly inspirational. She had 5 children by the age of 24. After that she went back to school and got her GED and bachelor's degree. She worked in ER at Halifax hospital for over 20 years. She was well read and traveled. She got her divers certification and logged many miles as a pilot. She enjoyed many hobbies like gardening, cooking, music, reading. She was always active in her church. I have never met anyone as smart as my mom or anyone who lead a fuller life.  She got MS around the age of 50 and after that achieved a Masters degree and was planning to do family counseling. She then earned her doctorate.  First and foremost she was a wonderful and loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. When she passed away she was working in her garden and now she's in heaven and walking again with Jesus. She was loved by all and will be missed. My deepest sympathy to all her survivors especially my siblings and their children, Aunt Millie, Ralph, and her friends at church. She was truly one of a kind.   💘 ❤ Louis Bennett
