Mom was a devoted Christian and loved the Lord Jesus with all of her heart and served him faithfully all of her life. She was an LPN for many years and loved taking care of her patients. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Fall was her favorite season, and she loved watching hummingbirds from her window. She loved to go to the mountains, beach, and an occasional trip to Six Flags to ride roller coasters. When she lived at her apartment, she enjoyed playing Bingo with her friends and getting her hair done. Family and church were her biggest joy in life. Especially talking to her twin sister Linda about the bible and family. Her biggest gift was giving to others because she had a heart of gold.

Pallbearers will be Brandon Davis, Ethan Berryman, Matt Darley, Michael Wesson, Michael Ayala, Matthew Davis, and Sawyer Davis.

Special thanks to all of her caregivers at Forest Manor Nursing Home and Hospice.
