Mom was known for her beautiful gardens and her nurturing, peaceful home. She loved holding babies – she was all about the babies. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy.

Mom had a deep, personal relationship with Jesus that carried her through many difficult trials, never wavering in her faith. She set an enduring example for her children and grandchildren in the ways of the Lord.

She was so excited for the rapture. Every morning, you could find her on the porch reading her Bible and enjoying a cup of very strong coffee. She was a mentor and compassionate listener to her friends and her family and prayed for them daily.

Mom was loved by many who will remember her for her love of Jesus, her kindness, her sense of humor, and for carrying on the traditions and heritage of her faith and family.

We love you, Mom, Grandma, Mumsie, Wife, Sister, Auntie, Cousin, Friend…
