Mom was the matriarch of our family. She loved each and every one of us and did not use or
accept the words step, half, or adopted anything. We were all a member of her family regardless
of how we grew onto the family tree. She was the glue that held our family together through
good and bad times. In addition to her passion for family, she loved her church family, cooking
for family and friends, flowers of all kinds, and her faithful, loving, Welsh Corgi companion of 15 years,
Duckie.
Funeral services will be at Lakeview Cemetary in Longview on Saturday, September 9, 2023 at
2:00 pm. Visitation will be at Lakeview on Friday September 8, 2023 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm
