She was such a loving, beautiful and kind wife, mother, grandmother and friend to so many. Spending time with her children and grandchildren was such a delight to her. As we never doubt God’s love for us, we never doubted our mother’s love for us. You always knew she loved you and she would do anything for you. She loved us as Christ loves us and gave himself for us. She learned to love well from her Heavenly Father.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by two sisters, Sue M. Justice and Hazel M. Watts.
