She put together many Christmas productions. When she would catch a few minutes of time, she loved to crochet. In cooking was a passion of hers. She once wrote a cookbook that everyone loved.

She was a loving Mother and her children adored her. We cannot tell you how many preachers, evangelist, or just people passing through, that would stop by for a delicious home-cooked meal with homemade bread and a slice of fresh raspberry pie. She was a mild mannered woman without a mean bone in her body, but more than anything. She loved God.!!! and was not afraid to let you know how grateful she was that he saved her from the Catholicism that she grew up in.

She will be deeply missed, but she will never be far from our thoughts. We love you, MOTHER!
