Mom lived her life always busy with gardening or canning, farming, sewing, real estate and running her store B&B Quick Service until her health wouldn’t let her. She shared many stories from her life about canning, gardening, old remedies her Dad made from fox fire, red clay, sassafras etc. and the times, as a child, spent with her family and things her parents told from their families. She once said she was an encyclopedia of useless information. Mom could always make you laugh. Yes, we will miss her but, most of all we will always remember and love her for who she was, MAMA.

Pallbearers will be Matthew Gilham, Blake Gilham, Chuck Phillips, Shannon Bullard, Daniel Bullard, Nathan Bullard.
