Our matriarch will be remembered for her strength, independence, ability to counsel and nurture all who came to visit her, her green thumb, amazing cooking, sewing, and her hand-made quilts, but most of all for her dedication to family. She instilled in her family a love and faith of Jesus Christ.
A special thanks to her daughter-in-law, Mary L. Uballe, for her unconditional love and support during her last weeks of life. Thanks to Interim Health Care Hospice of Austin.
