She was a loving mom, wife, grandma, and great-grandma, but she was also an unbelievable mother-in-law. She enjoyed shopping, being with her family, and going to church. She had a passion for her faith and her family. She loved sitting out on her patio admiring her flowers and playing with her great-grandkids. She also enjoyed feeding her hummingbirds and squirrels. She had a lifelong impact on everyone that she met. We could all learn from her kindness and giving ways. She will be truly missed forever.
