A life fully and joyously lived, hers set a fine example for her loved ones. Her children and grandchildren were her pride and joy. The legacy of her deep faith, kind spirit, and zest for life will live on through them. Say not in grief she is no more - but live in thankfulness that she was.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Honor Flights, or St. Jude's.
