Everyone who knew her knows that she was a faithful servant of the Lord, who loved her extended family deeply and enjoyed nothing more than frequent family gatherings. A devoted member of White Bluff United Methodist Church, she actively served in a number of church groups and committees and loved spending time with her large circle of friends. She was always willing to help anyone in need and would spend hours simply listening without judgment. She was truly a rock to so many and she will be greatly missed.
