Our Mother was one of a kind. Born and raised in Kerrville, Texas to a family of migrant workers, mom knew the meaning of hard work and dedication. She never allowed herself to think she couldn't accomplish whatever she put her mind to. She received her GED in her 50's. Had numerous certificates in several trades including cake decorating. She had business sense and gave great advice in real estate and banking decisions. Our Mom was a "jack of all trades". She worked as a trailer park manager till her mid 80's. But her number one passion were her flowers and plants of all types. She could bring a dried up plant back to life and could make half a dozen more out of one. She loved her rose bushes the most. And would always remind us to trim them the week before Valentine's day.

A Celebration of Life service will be held in honour of our Mother, grandmother, great grandmother and sister, at the Kerrville Funeral Home on

We love you and will miss you dearly Mom, rest in peace.
