It’s so hard to try and sum up her life into a few lines. She was the glue that kept us all together. She taught us to love one another, to be there for each other and family isn’t just blood relations. Her home was a place where everyone was welcomed and you better be hungry because you were going to be fed. She had a love for music, dancing, bingo with her friends, luncheons with her sister and girls, hosting parties for every occasion and dressing in perfectly coordinated outfits from head to toe! Her favorite color was yellow but loved all vibrant bold colored clothing.

If asked the one thing that brought her the most joy in life her answer would be” being a grandmother”. She loved her husband and children deeply but all those grandbabies were her most cherished treasures!

She was a blessing to us all and her loss leaves a huge hole in our hearts. Her faith was strong and unshakable, which she instilled in all of us! She taught us to never give up and to always have faith in God's plan. Heaven gained an angel, rest peacefully in God's grace. We love you always and forever.
