She will be greatly missed by all.

She was the most loving mom and everyone's biggest cheerleader. She was very creative with an eye for design and nice things. She loved to dress nice and always looked so put together. Her shoes, pocketbook and jewelry all coordinated to go with her outfits. She was just as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside.

She loved crocheting and gifting her blankets to loved ones. Bingo was her enjoyment. It was an opportunity to socialize, laugh and win a big 3 bucks. It wasn't about the amount, as much as, it was about winning and the bragging rights about being lucky. One of her cherished bingo wins was a ballerina doll. She will never part with it.

She had a close relationship with God and found comfort in prayer. She always had a long list of people who she prayed for nightly. She worried and cared about everyone. The love she had in her heart was boundless. She especially loved family get togethers and special occasions. Christmas was one of her favorite holidays mainly because it was spent with her closest family. She got so much joy out of seeing everyone happy. She made sure her children and grandchildren always felt loved and thought of. You were the glue that held us together. We love you. We miss you.

We will always carry your memory in our hearts
