Willodean’s life revolved around her love for Jesus Christ. She was always in a state of prayer for something or someone even if she didn’t know them.

She was a postal worker at the Kimberly Post Office for over 10 years and was also known for her famous hot dog sauce and her turkey dressing. She was loved by all who met her with her gentle voice and mannerisms as well as her willing to help others in any way she could.
