She was a dedicated homemaker; who loved utilizing her gifts in sewing, crocheting and making wedding flowers for her family and friends. Spending time vacationing with family in the Great Smoky Mountains and Land Between the Lake were among her favorite adventures, but she will be best remember for her two greatest qualities: her uncanny way of endearing herself to her family and being an avid cat lover. She was a member of Gardnersville Baptist Church.
