Her 79 years were filled with love, meaning, joy, family, friends, life and her personal Savior. God gifted her with many talents such as crafting, knitting, crocheting embroidery and cooking for whoever came along. She loved her family gatherings filled with laughter, good food and fellowship. She saw the potential in everyone to do good. There wasn’t a negative nerve in her body. Her own family and extended families have all been wonderful blessings, which only come from God.
