For years, Momma J worked hard to provide for her family. She worked 13 years for the New Kent Rest Stop where she loved to plant her garden for visitors to see.

Momma J lived a wonderful life, making friends with everyone she met. She will be remembered by her loving arms and her very bright green thumb. Momma J could light up a room with her smile or her jokes. Many know that no matter what she had, if they needed anything, she would give it to you before you asked. A person or animal would never hurt around her because she was quick to aid. Momma J will truly be missed and never forgotten. We love you Momma J!
