She was a parishioner of Holy Family Catholic Church. She was loved by everyone who met her. She was outspoken and strong willed as she raised her children as a single parent after the loss of her husband. She was a very good cook and anyone who ever crossed her doorsill never went hungry. Although she did not drive, she always found a way to get to a sick relative or friend to take care of them. She loved to fish. She was a loving, caring wife, mother, grandmother and friend. The family would like to thank Mrs. Gwen Robinson, her caretaker and Robert Bement and Mrs. Debra Gorr, her Hospice nurses, Dr. Dickie Haydel and his staff.
