Mom enriched our lives by showing us a love of Jesus Christ, she was a member of City of Refuge Church of God. Her love of family was beyond measure and was her joy in life. She loved to cook, fixing everyone their favorite dish. During Christmas she made sure each family member received just the right gift. Her love for a well-kept garden came early and continued into her 80″™s. Mom was a hard worker, being on her own at the age of 15. She retired from Globe Envelope Company. Her last few years she was an avid reader and remembered every book she ever read. Due to the circumstances beyond our control, there will be modifications to the service.
