She prayed for family (those that have passed on and those of us still here), friends, co-workers, acquaintances, and people she did not even know. What she did, she did wholeheartedly or not at all. She loved her family dearly and enjoyed spending time with each and everyone. Each child and grandchild received a crocheted blanket from mom/grandma. She enjoyed quilting and travel by train. She also loved gardening! Her yard was always in bloom with different colored roses, a variety of beautiful flowers, and her grapes on the vine. Another favorite pastime was Bingo! She loved playing bingo, and would also volunteer in the kitchen. Mom was a great cook and she enjoyed showing love through her food. She was an amazing daughter, she took great care of her parents for years. She was an amazing sister, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother. Mom is the epitome of love and strength for our family. She is and will always be incredibly missed.
